Muuuch better development of character backgrounds, relationships, and world than we saw in Babel. Kuang is finally letting her characters be people in a story rather than stick figures spouting ideas. It seems like she still has a ways to go as far as including academic ideas in her books in a natural-seeming way, though. They just list people instead of grappling with their arguments.
