Unfortunately a bit of a book two slump for me. It's the whole: the two main characters are separated from each other the whole book, which is often not fun to read. I also felt like not a ton really happened for like 90% of the book? There was a lot of characters just talking, but not in a super politically interesting way? Sometimes I wonder if there are too many sides to the political intrigue. I did like the expansion of some character's involvement (Iktan). It just felt like a LOT of setup...

Can't wait to see where Serapio and Naranpa go together...

I really loved the first book and I am still excited to read the third, final, book to see where this whole series ends up.
