Started reading this over a month and a half ago. I started being quite invested in Taylor's story, but then it shift to be focused on the wards and I realized I'm just really damn bored, and barely 20% through.
I wish there were fewer fight scenes, which were getting a bit repetitive, and more explanations/glimpses of the world and how it differs from ours. The few things we do hear up to this point like

scion, the leviathan/endbringers, part of Canada being gone???

were super interesting but not really expanded on for twelve hundred pages.
I love long, slow books (see "jonathan strange and mr norrell") but this is too much for me, at least right now.
