3.5/4 stars.

Although this is a good book, I didn't enjoy it as much as the first. I found some of the characters frustrating, even with their redemption arcs at the end.

The last quarter of the book was the most compelling and read very quickly. Still a good book but didn't quite live up to the first book for me.

Still would recommend this series though to anyone who enjoys slightly darker books that have strong female characters and meddling deities.
