Age of Ash by Daniel Abraham

I can’t remember when I last read a book where the city described stood out clearer from the pages. The city is masterfully brought to life.
I only have one question and it’s about the ancient being Kithamar. Yes what it did is bad, taking over bodies like they are nothing but meat sacks. But in a world as harsh as this one, what should it matter to street rats like Alys or Sammish? They do end up involved, but it felt to me like a foolish pursuit and I did not understand the motivation for it. I think it would have made more sense to me if the ancient being Kithamar had more of its story explained. Like, is it a horrible ruler to its people? I hope to learn more about it in the next book.
