Ok yes, I'm definitely just annoyed by the false barriers being put up for plot tension when it comes to Hadrian. This latest sequence was equal parts too hard and stupid, and too easily resolved. I would say, if there is unresolved aftermath of the fight here, it will still be too easy. Ugh. Hope this is not going to continue like this. We still have 2 books to go...

When this series talks about new stuff, I am all in. I think i have lost all patience for Hadrian being in physical peril. Not because I care what happens to him. When he is under attack i feel myself wanting to skip the action and get to the outcome and implications. Could be his lack of (spoiler) - I care what happens to his crew and others around him. Not sure how that works when I still enjoy the world building.

Sometimes i take a break and come back and this feels like a refreshing return to another world. Wish I always got that feeling with this series but it is still good enough to keep me so far.

Last book took a lot out of me. We carry on slowly.
