Lots of work on, so I've only just finished the second book. I think if you liked the first you'll like the second even though it starts slower.
The Kingdom of Copper by S.A. Chakraborty. Second book of
Daevabad Trilogy. The first half of this is slow compared to the first book, but I didn't find it boring: the ambitious protagonists make their plans all unwittingly on a collision course. It's an intricate plot, neatly unfolded to a quite violent finale. A great cast and several unexpected turns. I found it impressive and enjoyable. After having read so much YA fantasy it's an interesting change to get into something a bit more substantial. But the ending is quite abrupt, more so than the first book. Thankfully the third and last book is there ready for me, so that's what I'm onto next. This book gets a firm 4/5.
