( )I liked this volume of the series better than the first; I think it's because the various threads are starting to come together here. In a lot of ways, the first one was mostly set-up. It's certainly an excellently twisty plot! I'm very much looking forward to reading the last volume. A middle book, but there's a lot going on. Just as compelling as the first one. A middle book, but there's a lot going on. Just as compelling as the first one. The continuing adventures of Vaaztes as he tries to get back to his wife. The events are almost ancillary to this book, in which we see a sociable and an unsociable schizophrenic get together, viewing the world as a machine and manipulating the machine as they choose. That said, the events carry on in their normal style, with both huge political impact and tiny personal minutiae all handled with equal aplomb and keeping things moving along happily. Despite that, it feels a bit weaker than normal for this author, not sure quite why it misses the mark, but it does. no reviews | add a review
