With any book in this series beyond the first, this book is not for everyone, but if you've gotten this far, the niche is you. Dense, lore filled, and forcing you to form a mental map of who is where and when, this one will keep your brain cells busy. 
The framework of storytelling is different for each book in this series, this one included. The premise of the frame is a little weaker logically in my opinion than in the other books, but the stories within as well as the destination they approach upon shows the detail, planning, and world building that this series shines for.
