The first 50% was mid. Lovers quarrels and a lot of foreshadowing with crudely constructed plot. Because the author wants you to get somewhere. And once you're there, it's a lot of fun and back to back scheming. Very good second half.
I'm pleased it's only a duology, dragging this would have been too much. I kept on getting confused between some characters (Skade and the skald) mainly because the name and profession read the same in my dyslexic head, so got confused more than once. Otherwise, good twists and a lot of death.
