I had been looking forward to this sequel and did a full reread of the first book to make sure I’d be ready for it. Unfortunately this one started out not great: a few instances of telling without showing, followed by wonderful settings but a sort of meandering narrative that’s struggling to hold my attention.

I’m setting it down, and I’m not sure I found enough in it to encourage me to pick it up again.
