A rollicking good read – lots of action, humor, a splash of romance. On the whole, a sequel that surpasses it's predecessor (though most of that was due to world-building, set-up, and whatnot).
Sure, there was plenty of rehashing key conflicts from the first book, more than was needed. But once you accept that, it's easy to deal with.
The villain is convincing, the plot twist is easy to spot a few miles away, but it still works. I'm hoping there are many more of these to come.
