The first episode started the serial off with a bang, dropping readers into a world of magic, swordplay, and deadly politics. Episode two loses much of the moment established and is mainly exposition and low-level politicking; it's the kind of stuff necessary for world building, but Brennan didn't do anything to make it less of a chore to read.
I'm still invested enough to read more.
