This book in the series focuses more on character development and layering on top of the knowledge developed in the first book. I've really enjoyed how Jemisin has structured her books thus far in this series, the chapters intermittently changing point of view or character focus, it was great.

If you’ve already started this series you know why it’s great. Everything I loved from The Fifth Season is expanded upon here, and new elements are just as excellent and appreciated. I’m picking up book three literally right now!
