It's interesting and more emotional than the first book. The maturity of character is higher in this book compared to the previous book. Though the plot of this book is interesting it feels obvious sometimes.
There are many place where you can say that it is so obvious you can say what is going to happen. For example when Bes, opted to be considered while playing. We know that he is gonna be lost. Also when Amos didn't say who is the second most powerful magician in the world. Zia not knowing Carter and is distant from Carter than the sabthi of Zia. It was also obvious that Ra will not be as expected. If he was fully powerful like his good days the series will end, so he cannot be strong.
