This book would have been so much better if it would have been edited more. So many pointless chapters and side plots. I'm counting it as read even though I skipped about 20 chapters throughout the book. Either they were from POVs I didn't care about or had side plots that didn't matter. And everything I skipped, it was easy to figure out what I missed from context from later chapters. Further editing would have helped this book so much.
