So, finished it up a bit ago, was really short and more setup for the next book than anything. Pretty much like he split one book in half to make more money.
Would be pretty annoying if the next book wasn't coming out in September. At least the next book looks like it should be pretty good.

My issue with it (no spoilers) is how sloppily it was split. It’s like the publisher rejected his manuscript and made him crash split it in less than a week and Jim went ham on the cut and paste and some events occurred out of original sequence.
Interactions with characters go through a bipolar tonal shift and the big climax fight seemed completely disconnected from outside events and just plopped in there to throw in a morsel before the end of the book.
I’m reserving final judgement until Battlegrounds but so far I’m not been impressed. Some significant world building happened but most of the character scenes were retreads of previous books.
