More investing than the first one, characters still falling in love and trusting strangers far to easily in only days of meeting but that's fairy tails for you.  

Better character focus and development than the first of the series.   Was rather pulled out of the first book by the seemingly disregard for the deaths of different family members from mutiple characters. This second installment gave those relations a bit more depth and focus, instead of skimming past them making it easier to be more invested in the characters and what they are going through.
