This book was less action packed than the first one. The first book followed the story laid out in the MTG card set, so it has somewhat of a better structure. This book is more of an 'inbetween' kind of story. It's about the aftermath of the first book, and the fight against Nicol Bolas. A part of the story has to do with the guilds.

It's quite slow, not much action, per se. We do get to know more about the characters. There's more of Rat, Taio, Kaia, and Lilliana, my favourite characters from the first book. The story leaves an open ending. I hope that means that there is a third book in the works, despite the unpopularity of the first two books.

Audiobook - I'm not a fan of female narrators, but I loved Lisa Flanagan. I hope to come across her again in the future.
