Imperialism is one hell of a drug. "Mild" are: the emperor is a rapist and makes a lot of threats. Some of the sexual content - such as that between the two main characters - is innocent and not excessively detailed but its there.aargot1's review against another edition

ATATN is a big improvement from AEITA. I wasn't too keen on the characters when we first met them. But the world building was the weakest point. The world itself felt rather small, and while it is expanded upon a little in ATATN there's still some to be desired.
But what bothered me the most in AEITA was that we were constantly told how brutal this world was but then hardly showed it. That's absolutely changed now. I'm pleasantly surprised. It's not often an author just goes this hard in book 2. Love to see it.
Why this isn't a 5 star is because emotions don't really stick with the characters. Horrible things happens to the characters but it doesn't seem to affect them beyond that scene. I get that compartmentalisation is a thing. But isn't it convenient how all the characters, regardless of upbringing, are all great at compartmentalisation?
I shouldn't nitpick like this. The book is good.
