Although this was one of the books I was highly anticipating the pacing ruined this one for me. I was bored during about 200 pages and I really wanted to like this. I don’t mind the worldbuilding and I understand why the story focused on politics but omg that could have been a lot shorter.  The last 100 pages got me interested again but I'm also annoyed with where the story and characters are going so I will try to keep my expectations low for the next book.
