I'm going to DNF this one.

There is nothing really wrong with this book, but there's also nothing really right about it, either. While I enjoyed the first volume quite a lot, and the second so so, now I find myself feeling apathetic about the whole thing. Perhaps I got older and more dinosaury, or maybe the plot got less good.

The characters act childishly, the sense of gunpowder/revolution/magic is gone, and the political situation is a cardboard imitation of the European 17-18th century wars. Not quite how it started. And I don't want to over-analyze the whole thing, either. I tried, didn't work out, shrug, move on.

We shall not limerick today.

Igor
