I don't know whether to continue with it or not. The book flip-flopped between fascinating and turgid for me. I particularly loved a lot of the background detail to the story, but not so much the central plot. I definitely had to push myself to keep going with it, and had periods that I zoned out and had to go back over bits that I'd missed (audio book). I'm not sure I can be bothered with the effort for two more books.
