You can tell an author spent so much less time on the sequel than the first one. Gone are the poetic beginnings of each chapter, gone are the particularly complex and dark description of magic or people. I mean, the author fast-forwarded, montage-like, thru the Shepard King's memories of creating the cards. Pure exposition. Not utilized well, such as for more creepy reveals or King's character development.
