I also dropped this on the second book. I'm determined to buy and read the whole series at some point because I've never been defeated by a book like this. When I say "defeated", it's not that I don't understand what I'm reading, it's that I don't understand what the hell is supposed to be amazing about it. I share your sentiments OP. It felt to like just a bunch of "this happens, then this happens, then this happens," but not in a good way. I'm especially baffled by the point about the supposedly brilliant prose. I don't find it atmospheric, descriptive or even really remarkable in any way.
