Definitely enjoyed it, and was fun to read it roughly at the same pace as I was watching the show.

There were maybe a half dozen times in the book when one chapter would end in a cliffhanger, then hop to another character's point of view for a whole chapter's worth of events leading up to said cliffhanger. These narrative devices were pretty frustrating for me to have to keep slogging through, and generally made me groan when I encountered them.

For the first third or so of the book I think I preferred the world-building over the characters, but that definitely changed by the end. Overall pretty good, I think I'll finish catching up with the show and give it a bit of a break before continuing the series.
