I initially struggled with the prose here, and I wanted the plot to be a little bit more concentrated in certain areas, but I was fully invested around the 70% mark. The world building is fresh, interesting, and surprising in places, and I look forward to seeing it expand in the following books, as well as (hopefully) getting a deeper look into some of my favorite characters.
