There is too much external action, and too little internal. I am not one of those people who gets off on watching 4k slow-motion videos of car-crashes on Youtube. For page after page we follow the train that the dying Idiran has set in motion. We know that nothing will interfere with it. This is not suspense; it is merely postponement. Against the background of Hobbesian chaos, where no one really co-operates with anyone else, tiny touches of emotion stand out.
