This book has a lot going for it: magic, politics, a heist, mysterious other dimensions, lords and ladies, and secret plots and an invasion from across the sea. Neat stuff
Moderate: Trafficking and Colonisation

Again, much like the first book, I like the active subversion of the call to adventure with many of the main heroes rejecting or denying their role in things and many of their fears of being forced into those roles coming out. While it does use common fantasy tropes (dualities of light/dark, man/woman), I do like the consistent theme of happenstance that isn't actually happenstance and the inspiration drawn from various religion, mythology, and real-world events.
