Zomi’s story is much more emotional and personal than anything from book 1 and the political intrigue is much more developed. Things are explained to us but through the eyes of children rather than direct exposition.

Zomi is a much more interesting character than anything we saw in grace of kings. This has started much much stronger. The only thing I thought was lame was the orchid teaching the god of war how to be a god of war. The wisdom from the orchid was too stupid a concept for me to ignore it.

Significant improvement on the first. Both the prose and the structure are much more enjoyable.
