Well the good news is it's certainly getting better, which I am very glad of as I had already ordered Dead house gates haha.
I have to say though the start was pretty bland, the characters with the exception of Paran for me, were not engaging, their actions and thoughts thin and annoying (tattersail I still have a problem with, as she seems to be a main character I hope she can get her head into gear, stop dithering about like a cow). Complexity and Ambiguity weren't a problem, in fact I like that sort of thing as it builds up interest, If anything the gloss over of characters descriptions seemed to let things down. but as said, it seems to be getting better, so I'm fairly happy that I decided to keep going. It can't be everyones fav or second fav series for no reason and I think theres enough here to build on and keep getting better as I go
