This second one is certainly *more*: easily double the length of Book 1.
So pros:
-Lots of great characters and thorough world building
-interesting magic
-interesting how the mythic and the world we know combine
-interesting take on vampires. I like vampires that are more than bloodsuckers or glittery emo man-children
-i love the Nomphic race. Such a cool idea!
Cons:
Now, your mileage will vary. These are cons from *my* perspective - for others, these aren't a big deal.
This book is a *brick*. And I found it had a *lot* of exposition. There was a lot of explaining things and then more explaining. While some stuff needs that, I felt like the plot got bogged down in parts, and the pacing was uneven in places.
There are a lot of characters, and the constant jumping between them in places was sometimes distracting and confusing. I don't think we need to see something from half a dozen character pov's, especially if they are minor ones (like The Bride).
The ending was a bit too extended for my liking.
There was a lot to like here, but I feel like it would have been stronger for either some harsh slashing of the exposition or breaking it over 2 books. Some characters I would have liked to see more of (like Raphael), but they got kind of overwhelmed by the sheer number of other people.
If you liked book 1, this one will definitely give you plenty to read. Arguably, there might be *too* much though lol
