A bit slow in the middle, but the end made it well worth the read. Lots of characters with their own goals and ideals often not knowing each others’ intentions. The resulting amount of intrigue and power dynamics are something I quite enjoyed in the previous books as well.

Something else I also liked about all three books I’ve read so far is how mystique and religious themes are built up and simultaneously dismantled. This reminds me of the way Asimov handles the “three laws of robotics” in his stories.
