Mirroring what most people have said already, the world building and characters are great, and it was a nice sequel to the first one. The pacing was much better throughout compared to the Ivory Key and the stakes felt much higher this time.
I also would’ve loved to see this story over more pages and possible more books. The plot line and characters didn’t get enough time to shine as much as I think they could’ve in say a 600 pg book. The ending felt a little too fast paced for all the strings needed tying up but it’s such a huge feat. Would love to read more stories from this author either way!
