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!
