Writing good, lucid, character work was inconsistent (one of the two central POVs was clearly better written while the other was nondescript, pacing was all over the place and the central conflict is interesting but also feels very diffuse, not grounded. Missed opportunity in worldbuilding with the female church leadership.
Overall, fine, but not interested in reading on.

Liking it on a retry but not getting the level of investment that I had with A Game of Thrones by this point. Very much trying this as a series for ASOIAF readers so the comparisons are a bit inevitable, even if unfair.
