While not a totally awful second entry, not an entirely convincing one for me, either. Perhaps, in the end, by trying to do too much, he did too little.
I was really excited for this one, but the pacing felt off and the dynamics of where most of the characters are at at this stage of the story is a bit perplexing to me.
I enjoyed a bit of it, but definitely not as much as book 1. Where book 1 was sharp in its focus, book 2 was lost in it's breadth. The more I've thought about it since finishing, the less I like it. I lean towards 3.5 stars.
