If you go into this book expecting the exact sequel to Gardens of the Moon, you will probably be a bit lost again. We are introduced to a whole new set of characters, aside from a handful that are returning from the first book, but we are now in a new island setting, that of the Seven Cities isles. The world seems much more brutal compared to that of the first book.
