Aaaaaah this is even better than the first one, and I'm dying for the next book. It's everything from the first book, with more characters, more story growth. I love this kind of fantasy book which has such political relevance, about propoganda and how it can be so deeply embedded that we don't even realise, the dreams of the people and the obstacles to achieving those dreams, and the resulting desperation leading to people making hard and harsh decisions... But all wrapped up in a fantastical world, through the emotions of the characters... So we learn, without it feeling like learning, because, to me, it felt like I was living it.
