Where the first one was bogged down with the world building and weak character development, this one soars as Chakraborty gets to play in this world. I have only watched Game of Thrones but the conniving and political moves one has to make made me think of it when I was reading this. She sets her characters up in a world fully realized and plots their courses to an ending that was impossible to put down. The characters that were at times infuriating become more realized as we want to root for them or . This book shines. It's fun, interesting, and engaging.
New characters are introduced and smaller characters get bigger parts that help both the plot and the main characters. My favorite character of the series, Hatset, was introduced here and she becomes a breath of fresh air. It felt like Chakraborty really enjoyed writing these characters. If you can get through the first one, I recommend continuing because the second one is better.
