Overly long and a little convoluted at times, but soooo much better than book 1. There was some solid world building, the characters had more depth and development, and there was reflection and critique from key characters of their own previous (book one) behavior that seemed nonsensical/irritating.

I'm not sure I liked it enough to continue reading more of the series over other books on my TBR - despite it ending on a bit of a cliffhanger / to-be-continued vibes. But for me at least this book was an engaging story and felt worth the read if only to avoid the FOMO, lol.
