I enjoyed this but dang is this plot complicated and subtly conveyed. I expect I'll be kind of lost by the time Alecto comes out, but I am ready to accept that.

Each book in this series seems to get me interested enough in a character and then end with a lot of cliffhangers which don't get addressed for another 600 pages while the story does something completely different and I'm coming into this one grumpy about having to care about completely different people while getting cryptic allusions to the previous characters' fates

I discovered a flaw in my re-read plan which is that this is a FOUR book series, so unless I retain the plot very well through this round I'm going to be back at sea when the final volume comes.

I really got such a kick out of this, Ess does an amazing job of writing from the perspective of a character who is kind of a nightmare in way that is self-aware and captures the facepalm-type thoughts of this guy in a way that's funny and realistic. The only thing I wasn't sure about was the ending, and I can't put my finger on exactly why. I guess it felt a little like it gives the reader a moral comeuppance in a way read to me as a little too neat? But I would not let that deter you.

Finally available in the US!
I loved this! it was weird, dreamlike, and unexpected. The writing is so smart and witty, and the story manages to be both surreal and tangible. Without any spoilers, I couldn't have fathomed how to end a story like this but I loved the ending. This is the first book in a while that I walked down the street reading because I didn't want to put it down.
