So what this series has done so far: break the protagonist down to nothing and have him painfully overcome and rise spectacularly, break him again, have him eventually rise even more spectacularly, break him again, have him limp around for a bit and then break him again. It's stress-testing of a character, and that's a pretty effective narrative tool. The pacing is still snappy but I'm not that enticed yet.
