It felt less like a sequel. The story is a parallel one to the first book, but it made more sense to read it after the first instead of a tandem read. It gives more depth and answers questions the first left unanswered, and gives the city of Kithamar more character. Instead of focusing on a criminal underworld, it focuses on traders and nobility and young love. The two main characters tugged at my heart and showcased a story of finding yourself as you grow up. It's an excellent sequel and I'm mad that I need to wait for the third to be finished!

I enjoyed this one quite a bit more than the first book in the trilogy, and I would actually recommend that if you're having a hard time with the darkness of the first, to read this one. The trilogy is structured in a way that the story is all happening at the same time, so the events of the first book are happening in the margins of this book and vice versa. 

The characters in here were a lot more lovable for me and the story was a little more heroic? If that makes sense. Maybe it just uncovers a bias towards certain kinds of stories for me.
