I had... a lot of issues with the msq, but unlike many, I actually liked the first half of the story. As much as it was dragging its feet at places, took away too much time from the 2nd half (it needed a lot more to explore certain concepts and themes we cruised by), and relegated the Scions to babysitting duty, it was an ok journey. I didn't even hate Wuk Lamat that much. Could've used a bit more politics and character growth though and wee bit less power of friendship. Especially given how the story ended.
