Character Development and Pacing
The Wall of Storms showcases a significant shift in character development and pacing compared to its predecessor, The Grace of Kings. While the first book predominantly focused on establishing the historical and philosophical foundations of the series, the second book allows for deeper exploration of characters on a daily basis. This slower pacing facilitates a more personal philosophical discourse, moving from individual leadership qualities to broader societal questions, enhancing the reader's connection to the characters. The crew notes that this change, while different, maintains the story's overall quality and depth.
