Very much enjoyed Shards of Earth but I've found the second volume to be a bit of a disapppointment. The overall plot barely creaks forward while a series of side-line conflicts large and small dominate the book.
In theory, less plot advancement gives space for character development but that seems to have taken a back seat in the name of 'excitement'. The rather repetitive fights and disputes with their over-detailed descriptions almost led me to skipping through them but as I normally regard that as something of a crime against literature, I ploughed on.
If you want to know what more is revealed about the Architects and what is behind them, then read the last thirty pages or so. Not that it will be particularly illuminating even then, plus everything there is at least hinted at in the first book.
Despite my negativity, this book is still a good read; it's just that the first book cued up something rather special and I don't think the second has taken the opportunity to build on that before the inevitable book three.
