When compared to Ida's adventure in the first game, Monument Valley 2 has a much more directed story. It chronicles the journeys of Ro and her nameless daughter through MC Escher like worlds.
However, just like the first game, the bits of story we are told directly are given through sparse bits of dialogue from presumably wise elders.
Some bits of story are told through gameplay, such as Ro's daughter drawing various symbols similar to the ones Ida was returning in the first game, giving us a better picture of the world created between the two games.
What the storyline in Monument Valley 2? Are there any connections to the first game?

I might add: is this a sequel or a prequel? Level 9 in MV1 seems to imply all the humans are dead, and the crow people are all that's left, yet here are Ro and her daughter, and did you catch the crow person statue in level 2? And that the crow people are all gone - have they not yet arrived, or did they already fly off? Ida's "on a quest for forgiveness" (MV1 level 2). What "promise" (MV2 level 13) did Ro and her daughter make, and what is its significance? Ida already "restored sacred geometry" and her crown (MV appendix 4), so what's left for Ro and her daughter to do?

The story was a little harder to get in this one, however, I do have a few ideas.
Ro and her daughter's interactions with the spirit oracles is obviously very different than Ida's. They treated Ida with an almost cold scorn, angry at what she had done. However, they treat Ro with an almost familial sympathy and give her advice on how to process her daughter's journey. It seems that while Ida's journey was more one of atonement, Ro and her daughter's story are more about growth and change, developing into better versions of themselves.
As far as the characters' relationship with the spirit oracle, while Ida was a crow person, it seems that Ro and her daughter are directly descended for the spirit people, and their journey is one of returning them to their rightful place.
Some people have suggested that Monument Valley 2 is a sequel to 1, but I disagree. I think it's a sequel in the proper sense, and takes place some time after 1. The Sacred geometry is returned, the crow people have atoned, and now Ro brings the spirits of her ancestors back into their rightful place. The restoration of the Monument Valley is complete.
