This book is just a great as the first. I will say that it is a little slower than Serpent and the Wings of Night as we are dealing with the consequences of the characters actions in the first book. There is political challenges, emotional struggles, depression, as well as hope. We recognize that the world is not black and white but many shades of grey.
