everything I enjoyed about the first book is missing here.
The only consistency is Amani's flakey character. Her motivations are so unclear. Since book one I had the feeling she i only joined the rebellion because she is so starved for a family rather than her believes, so I wasn't too surprised that she seem be swayed by every nice thing someone did.
I was also disappointed that the book seem to tease that there isn't clean good and evil and that the rebellion isn't as righteous as it seems to be (apparently that was also how the book was advertised, but I didn't read the blurb), only to be let down by a generic plot twist at the end.
