I still don’t understand why I didn’t like this book. Usually I can point to something—character, plot, world building—but all of those are apparently good. There's no failing. I mean, I was hit worse than usual by the "who are these people I followed in the previous books and what even happened" but that shouldn’t have been enough to explain my utter apathy towards everyone.
Meh. I’m annoyed that I don’t have a good reason for not liking it and also kind of annoyed I forced myself through it.
