In this sequel, we finally see all the events that were alluded to in book 1. It was intense and action-packed, lots of political maneuvering (which I LOVE in books). 

I enjoyed this one much more than the first. My main issue with the first book, was that I didn't really care for any of the characters. That completely changed in this one. I ADORE these characters now, I'm so sad that I'm not gonna be able to see more of them
