Similar to the first there is a decent amount of info dumping throughout that might have been incorporated in another way. However the characters take on a new level of depth and development. The series up to this point has done a really wonderful job exploring what is morally right, and the idea of balance. I'm incredibly excited to say the least to see what the third book will bring.
The plot twist at the end still hits me right in the emotional gut when I read it, even though it's been more than once
