The books seem to have settled in to a comfortable rhythm. The stories and characters just sort of unwind in a pleasant and well told way. That's not a bad thing, but it is perhaps a bit too comfortable. Maybe a bit too TV screenplay too, although perhaps that's unfair of me.

This book had way too many POV characters. Also the action of the plot was weirdly structured. It didn't quite come together. I particularly don't like Marco Inaros as a villain character, he's just too mustache-twirlingly evil.
