Finding the tale difficult to get into. I am intrigued by the set up, however there are a plethora of names, titles, concepts, intrigues, politics... At times it feels like a hodgepodge without direction, a literal mashup of East and West tropes.

Hoping all these bones Samantha Shannon is building get some flesh, otherwise I can foresee this weighty tome falling flat.

I am still hopeful, though! Onward.
