The adventure continues, starting with a war between noble houses.

The MC faces his advesary, who had been fooling his boss while comissioning assignations, land grabs and other schemes. The fallout was both wide and deep. Along the way, the MC becomes interesting to a Kinutsi princess, the emperors daughter, the chief healers daughter and his longtime otherworldly familiar (in her human form). Sounds like a harem gettingvready to be formed

Things start coming together for the MC, but then an overzealous civil servant becomes suspicious before screwing the pooch who then attempts a CYA scheme.

Lots of interesting twists and turns as the MC navigates the aristocrat world, making deals. But then getting in over his head and attracting the attentions of multiple gods.

While the first book was more or less linear, this one is more a collection of side quests.

The protagonist is too full of himself for my taste and desired by all women. The whole empire seems to be convinced of his greatness and does everything to help him. Sometimes the book reads like a fairy tale..

Intriguing

Amazing world building and lots of interesting unexpected twists. A very complex world, but not to many characters to cluster the tale. An index of terms and names would help. What is an erg?

since this delves right in, the broken nature of the writing is more evident. it jumps around so much without any real satisfying breaks. this very much still needs a proper edit.

Fun Book

I enjoyed this one as well, but it's not as well-written as the first one. Half of the book is just random events, although it does get quite tense at times. Closer to 4 than 3 stars though.
