a delight for political fantasy lovers. I just wish Carey would stop inserting adventure plots into a story of a protagonist entirely not fit for them

The mystery and intrigue is captivating in these books, but the pacing just kills me. It felt even slower in this second book -- the writing style itself doesn't bother me (I've seen some people say it is 'overwritten', which is a fair critique but not something I personally feel), but there's so much traveling from here to there to there to over here and back again and that kind of thing bogs me down quite a bit while reading.
This one just had quite a few chapters/side quests that felt a bit filler-y. But I still love these characters and am very intrigued with the politics and scheming going on all the time!
