This is indeed better than the first one: slightly less unexpected violence, much better dialogue and more explanation. Having said that, it still seems on the slow side - there is a lot of wandering between the revelations. I am also now slightly concerned that the unfinished series is 4 books long without a conclusion in sight (book 4 was published 20 years ago!). This is giving GRRM vibes.

Still, the hook is enough to make me to add book 3 to my TBR. Fingers crossed book 5 makes an appearance by the time I get to book 4...
