I started this book, got two chapters in, then realized I needed to re-read the first book to remember who all the side-characters where. Whoops! Didn't mind revisiting the first book though, it was thrilling the second time around too.
Enjoyed this sequel! It builds on the first book and gives you the progress and the setbacks that the events in the first book logically would lead to. Don't want to spoil anything. Let's just say that all character development and relationship developments were well foreshadowed and interesting to come along with, and meshed well with the plot developments related to the magic and politics.
Can't wait for book three!

This had all of the in-depth political machinations, interrogation of colonisation and brilliant character relationships that made me adore the first book in this series. Dark, brutal, angry - this book is one of rage against the colonial powers who will do everything to keep control. It is about discovering that freedom doesn’t mean a lack of duty.
