Inconsistent character writing is getting frustrating. Characters introduced as self-destructively courageous then being terrified to paralysis be much lesser versions of the same.
Characters the book keeps telling us are smart then just acting exceptionally stupid just to build unnecessary moments of pointless dramatic tension.

So long.
Too many narrative perspective characters - many of whom seem rather secondary.
The story is VERY unfocused.
The world building is a lot of fun, broad if not deep.
