I enjoyed this as much as the first book, although it is quite different, except in that it has a female heroine. The first book was essentially the story of Nahadoth. This second book was the story of Itempas. The third book should be the story of Yeine, but it seems like the story of Sieh. But each book essentially stands alone on its own merits - although they should have included Itempas's sentence at the beginning of this book.The world gets substantially bigger and more developed in this book and I enjoyed the addition of more Godlings and the development of Shiny's character.I wasn't entirely happy with the ending, but I loved the book.
I'm not sure I understood even half of this. I'm having an extremely stressful week at work and it's been hard to compartmentalize and read a story set in a completely different world with complex situations and characters. I enjoyed what little I read and was able to process - especially because the author has a real gift for describing horrific things in a very sensible, soft yet impactful way. The main character is disabled, which was also extremely interesting to read about. I enjoyed this, I just wish I could have enjoyed all of it.
Not as good as the first, still pretty good though.
Just read it.
