The books in this series have a constant feeling that something big is about to happen but then doesn't. But it also seems to work?? The world(s) building and storylines keep me coming back.
There is a tendency to cut away and jump to the future after a big event/reveal. Which kind of feels like a cop out. While I still enjoyed this book and immediately borrowed the next, with three more books to go I could see the formula getting old if it stays the same.
