This book was definitely an instance where the sequel far surpassed the first book.
I loved how the characters adapted to the adversity they were facing and how no character or situation was as simple as black-and-white (including the bigotry and racism they encountered).
The dual perspectives added a fresh and nuanced take that was missing from the first book and the plot wasn't bogged down by odd political machinations like the first book.
I was hesitant to read this second book because I didn't love the first one, but I'm so glad that I did because I think that Ireland did an excellent job wrapping up the story while still leaving the ideal amount of questions open to envision the future of the characters.
