I'm about three quarters of the way through Book 2 now. I'd say so far that it is about even with the first (it starts off a lot better but near the middle it is more about building things up and getting characters to where they need to be). I don't know how they are going to go about some things though if they have the same budget as Season 1, because there's a lot of... CGI needed.

There are a couple of main characters from Season 1 that take a backseat aswell and don't really feature for large chunks of it, but you are always aware of where they are and what they are doing, so they'll probably manage to write scenes for them in the show.
