I get it. They're not plot-heavy and full of blockbuster action. But the intelligent and careful presentation of character and ideas, the way they lay out what it seems clear we should have been taught in schools (but weren't) in a landscape of fiction...well, exciting or not, it feels rather they like they ought to be required reading, to be quite honest. I wish they were, and maybe we'd live in a better world.
This is the second book in the series, beginning with Ishmael, and I look forward to picking up the third.
If you've not yet read Ishmael, I hope you will. ( )
