While I really enjoyed the previous entry in the series, probably my favorite so far, I think this entry is a step-down. The issues I feel that make this one less enthralling is that it feels like too much is going on. The previous entry felt well-rounded with the multiple story lines and made the world feel alive, while this one feels like it took that a step too far and made me feel mentally claustrophobic trying to track everything going on. I think that ultimately the series will continue in a good direction, but I think this was a slightly worse book than the previous entry.
