Everything is surface level good but boring. The beginning was decent because we had a destination, something to overcome, but ever since reaching Lady Rozerin, we kinda just move at a snail's pace. The only plot left is to survive and make "hard" decisions as the Crown but that's not concrete enough to keep me going. I know it's overdone but having a "face" for the evil guys would certainly help. Where I am in the story, it's just a bunch of followers attempting an assassination and that's just barely interesting.  There are highlights but those aren't good enough to overshadow the boring plot that makes up 70% of the time.
