Of Darkness and Light, Book 2 of The Bound and the Broken, is a tremendous step forward. In every has this book improved over its predecessor. What's good, continues to stay excellent, the action, characters, and the "Classic Fantasy Feel." With issues I didn't have improving significantly again. Going to new and unique locales, expanded PoV's (from 2 to 5), and faster and more coherent pacing.

Ryan Cahill might be the one of the most and fastest improving authors, and Of War and Ruin is jumping up the the top of my list.
