Ok I'm a bit over it now that Casteel seems so devoid of anything but worship for Poppy. The politics and the story about the gods and war between the two kingdoms is still interesting but the main characters aren't as interesting to me anymore.

Looking back over the whole series I really appreciate that feeling safe and things that seem weird are ok if it's what you want are such big parts of the book, even though the writer does seem to have to stress it a lot to make it actually like that.
