The pacing was a bit off, but it generally is when there is a stark contrast between periods of travel and then periods of court politics.

The aspects of religion, godhood, demonic possession, champions, and artificers are really interesting.  I really wished that the whole World of the White Rat contained more about the White Rat, because their people are predominantly main side characters.

Since it's been mentioned that it is planned to be seven books in this series I imagine that we get one for each of the remaining paladins.  I'm looking forward to Wren, and eventually Judith, though I expect with what happened at the end of this book, she might be the focus of the end of the series.
