I was also unimpressed by the first fifth of the Naam, but I think it really did redeem itself - to the extent that I'm kind of intending to buy the sequel, slightly to my astonishment, given how much I disliked it to begin with.
I cackled out loud at your description of Butchers of Khardov, and then felt the need to read it + footnote out to my housemate.
I fear it may have missed its chance during the discussion between capturer and capturee where both sides seemed at once to be the ridiculous straw man the author is just going to knock down.
