This was fast-moving and churned through plot - not a problem itself, but the author’s style of skipping over or eliding key details to facilitate a double-cross or plot twist (of which there are many) made it a little hard to follow sometimes. The sheer number of twists brought down the stakes a bit too, since you could safely assume that nearly everything that happened would not end up being what it seemed. But all in all it was a lot of fun, and I thought tackled race and class issues uniquely for high fantasy, so I will probably keep reading the series.
