I agree! I felt that this book really dragged me much more into Oree's world, and I thought that it came together much more um fluidly or something? flowed better (for me), and I was really intrigued with how the narrative handled Itempas and the relationships between godlings, gods. I liked Nahadoth and Sieh in the first book, and was impressed as hell when I found out that I was sympathizing with Itempas! WOW! That was artistry, I thought. Now, when does #3 come out?????????????
