This second book in the duology worked better narratively for me than the first, and I felt like it was more of a conclusion to everything the first set up. Structurally, the frame story and missing time (along Dikéogu's separation from Ejii) paid off for me narratively in how they created a lot of expectation holes to fill in later.
(A few extra spoilery thoughts here: https://books.theunseen.city/user/picklish/status/130577#anchor-130577)
I feel a little bit bad here because my overall conclusion for both of these books feels a bit like I kind of just "didn't get it", but maybe this is just an older work by an author whose newer work I've enjoyed quite a bit more.
