I really enjoyed this kind-of-sequel. While there are some recurring characters, most are new or only met briefly. While I was a bit disheartened not to see some of the previous crew again, the new characters are interesting, develop well, and well-rounded.

The threads of plot join together well to the conclusion, and the themes were beautifully explored and well built upon from the first.

Oh, and love that the exploration of gender continue in this one.

All around, a very good follow up to the first book.
