Lovely sequel, but I was a little disappointed to jump around narrators in stark contrast to the first book. I figure this might be to hide the twist (?) that Cheris is still alive, except you know that from the previous book... but I got the feeling that was why you were banished from her perspective.
Overall, I really enjoyed this and it didn't suffer from middle book syndrome, in fact, the conclusion was satisfactory enough that I might take a break with some novels before moving to the last two books in the series. I even warmed up to the perspective shifts, even though I felt more slowed by warming up to the new perspectives than I did in the first book getting familiar with the magic system.
