The Pathfinder series by Orson Scott Card. I'm halfway through the second book and the revelations are making my head spin!

Is the second book good? Idk if i want to know how the cliff hanger in the first one ends.

It continues right away, almost as if there's no reason for it to be in two books. Maybe think of a short intermission or a large book in two halves vs. the two separate books. It's quite good.
