My dad read this and then recommended to me. He said you don't need to have read the first to read this sequel, and he was right. I really enjoyed it, even though there were some new words I had to guess the meaning of from the context, I found the writing creative yet comfortable to read. The author looks younger and cooler than most, based on the flap, and he is an anthropologist, which adds more depth to the fantasy world we've entered. The world is a place where people revere their gods, but are also able to interact with them, it reminds me of the Greek mythologies I read as a kid. I liked that the author made a straight trip across the map interesting enough to last throughout the book. I didn't like that there were two points where he just used a letter from the main character or a memory to jump forward a month and summarize what had happened, it made it seem like he didn't take the time to expand those parts of the story and the way he wrote the rest of the book.
