I like the events happening here. The backstories add depth to Nic and Worick, making them more likeable. At the same time, there's a bit of confusion in the structure of the mafias involved. When they mention names in conversation, I find myself asking "who's that again?" There are also bodyguards who aren't just decorations, they are minor roles, too. There are guilds, the police, and other mysterious characters in the backstories that are yet to be named. They are scattered.
