While I absolutely loved the first book in this series, Black Sun, I kind of struggled to get through this one. I know a big part of that is because I read my own copy, in print. My routines these days give me ample day time for audiobooks and regular night time for ebooks, but paper copies that don’t have a library return date…I took forever on this one. I think the pacing was a lot slower in this second installment. There was a lot of aftermath from the action of the first book, but not a ton of its own action here in #2. Much of this book felt like it was setting up for the third book. The plot of the first also felt tighter and cleaner, if that makes sense. Truly still a great novel with utterly fantastic world-building. Black Sun is just such a hard act to follow!
