* Aside from Ekkerlin, I haven't encountered any other female characters, which gives this a very "same old white male author fantasy" feel.
* I found myself skipping paragraphs because I wasn't interested in the inner monologues or descriptions.
* The plot feels kind of formulaic so far, with our main characters finding one man, beating him up to get a name, finding the next man, beating him up to get a name, etc.

I don't think it's a bad book, I'm just feeling very ambivalent about everything, and since it's a pretty big book, I don't think this will end up being worth my time.
