I've come to really enjoy this series. Emily Woo Zeller is an AMAZING narrator (seriously, if I could just listen to her talk all day I'd be so happy) and hearing her read this phenomenal book?? I'm in heaven. The story continues to build from the first novel, and somehow keeps the same exciting feel-- often, I find sequels good, but not as good as the first book, but I found The Dragon Republic just as good as The Poppy War. Can't wait for book 3!
