What are some examples? I can't think of anything that has felt overly contrived.

For me the tipping point was Cat getting stabbed in the neck. I feel like there should have been at least a moment of doubt or tension or something, but there just wasn't. It's starting to feel like most of the rules in PGtE boil down to "I'm losing, therefore I win", the Kung Pao theory of combat. It was lots of fun when Cat was being clever and punching above her weight class against Akua and the Fae, but now that the conflict's come down to a bunch of puppetmasters puppeteering each other to death, it just makes everything really tedious to me. But I haven't started book 7, so maybe things are getting better.
