A good second part to the story. Secrets still yet to be revealed, and, of course, how will they react to said secrets? How long will Scarlet put up with being a kept man? How will the court intrigues play out in Liall's home? Definitely worth continuing on to book 3. (Even through the typos. Not a lot, but enough to notice. Again.) 
 Also, I really liked the preface in this book. If you forgot the highlights of the Pedlar and the Bandit King, the preface will catch you up to date with the points you need to remember (and then some).
