My wife and I read this (and the second in the series) last month. She LOVED it and I enjoyed it. It is very smart, and she has many, many motivations for the world and the language. She has talked about it and answers questions about it on goodreads.
Mycroft is a unique animal for reasons you would not have known given where you stopped. You should be suspicious. You should be bothered. You just don't know why he is all these things.
Having said that, no point in reading a book you aren't enjoying. Wish you the best in your next read.
I just finished Sayaka Murata's
