Made it to 26% before giving up. A slooooooow start with very little real conflict and no tension worth mentioning. If everybody is kind and gentle and rational and willing to get along, if the only way to have a bad guy is because "balance is necessary" and this balance has been disrupted, e.g., somebody's gone nuts, well, there's a flaw in the world-building and characterization. I don't enjoy books with too much realism, but there must be some.
