Where I found the first book to be too YA in all the wrong places, I found this book to read much more mature and I think it has to do with the switch from individually focused and character driven to big-picture focused and plot driven.
The world building continues to be wonderful, the overall narrative focus switching to sort of be from the POV of the Thunderhead majorly worked for me. And this book shocked me with a twist I didn't see coming and it imbued new life into the narrative. And while the first half drags a bit, the second half more than made up for it.
I am MUCH more impressed by this book than I was by the first one. Excited to finish the series
