The two timelines worked a bit better in this book than it did in the first one, but I think it just doesn’t work for me. It felt like I was getting spoilers instead of hearing the story and I would’ve much preferred it being in order of events. The switch also just brought me out of the story often. 
Also, the constant use of “The bone witch” “The heart forger” “The Asha”, is pretty annoying to me. 
However, I do care about the characters, even the daeva, and I will be reading the last book.
