A common complaint is that it's slow, but its meandering and introspective nature is what I quite loved about it. I was so interested in all the complex characters we get to meet through Fitz, particularly Burrich and the Fool. Rarely is the magic system NOT the aspect I'm most interested in. That being said, I'm so so so excited to see how the Wit develops with Fitz. I hope he gets an animal companion that doesn't meet a heartbreaking end soon - at least for one book, Robin!
