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.

Pretty much where I am at. We'll see how it looks after Battlegrounds, but on its own merits it's probably the worst book in the series minus the first.
And yeah, the shifts in how certain characters behaved towards Harry made zero sense, and definitely seemed like they were written in a hurry at different times. And the recycling of interactions and conversations from previous books was pretty blatant and seemed like a crapton of filler put in when he found out he had to make it two books instead of one.
