The pacing falters a little bit from the first book, some things happen without as much of a satisfying explanation for how and why. But, with how much is in it I suppose it makes sense. Develops the characters and the world very well, and manages to fall into the niche of recognizable fantasy tropes without feeling too familiar, repetitive, or formulaic. A comfortable world to fall into for a while. But, this is the book that got me hooked on the series to begin with so, it certainly deserves some credit.
