Feels very similar to the first one: characters are intriguing, their relationships complicated, the setting is cool af and there's a lot of intrigue and secrets in the air.
Still, it is too slow for me to fall in love with it completely. I like character driven stories, but it still feels like I'm observing too much character interaction while a plot is waiting for me in the periphery. Don't get me wrong, there is plot, but the balance between character exploration and plot is off to me personally. 

I have to say that with this second book, the characters grew on me more than they did during the first one. As of now, I like them all (except for Parisa, Idk, she really isn't the type of character I enjoy). And just like the first one, this one ended with a bang. I'm excited to listen to the third one once it's available in the German audio version. (If you understand German and are reading this: I really recommend the audio books, Tim Gössler does an impressive job in my opinion. His voice suits this book perfectly.)
