I enjoyed this book much like I enjoyed the first. it didn’t span timelines as much as the first book did; the line between characters stays more (though not totally) constant through of the book. If the first book was about the forces that work on societies: trade, religion, government, etc., then this book was about the forces that work on individuals: love, friendship, loyalty, fear, insecurity.

I don’t have a lot to say on this one! Like the first one, it was a lot of fun to read.
