My expectations were so high after loving Kingdom of Souls, but this fell so flat for me. What I loved about book 1 was the fast paced, always something happening, chaotic-ness of every page. While I understand that this book was about rebuilding from the aftermath I was still expecting to enjoy the second half.

 
The first half of this was so slow and boring and then even when things did start to pick up I felt like we were just playing the same game over and over again - this person is dead. Just kidding! They're fine. This person is resurrected. Just kidding! it wasn't even them. But this person....they're dead for real. Oh and everybody is possessed. 
 

I'm still holding out hope that the third book is great though.
