While I still would not mind a glossary to track the castes, factions, and players of this story, I did deeply appreciate the inclusion of a recap for the first book at the beginning of this sequel. I can not speak to how well it did its job as I reread the first and then jumped right into the sequel so it was very fresh in my mind. But one will always appreciate the effort and inclusion of a recap at the beginning of an SFF sequel.
The story itself holds up to the first book with continued intricate threads of many people and their motivations weaving into a broad tapestry. The complexity of the characters continues to develop as they learn more details in addition to dealing with the consequences of the actions of themselves and others. I look forward to seeing how this story and these characters continue to develop.
