Apparently I reached 61% if the progress counter of the Books app can be trusted.
It's been a struggle because anxiety.
I enjoy it, but I started to really question the flow of time in the history of the setting. The descriptions of the city of Cairhien brought this into focus. It's hard to believe this city has kept a single style of architecture in its 3000 years. Once that falls apart... a lot of it does.

The passages about Cairhien gave me mixed feelings.
On one end, this city and country are different from the rest of the setting so far, providing a very enjoyable sense of variety and bringing this world further apart from generic fantasy. Still, the style within the city is described as very homogeneous through a 3000 years history, which sounds very unlikely and created a sense of deep immersion break.

Sometimes I'm reading this when I feel I "should" be reading something else.
It's a comfort binge. Other things I could be reading fit neatly under "research", they could be "useful" that way. I do not know where this fits.
I do need things to keep me sane though... and this book is helping there, I think.
