I didn't find the characters engaging enough, or the magic intriguing enough, to draw me into the story, and without that, the politics just wasn't very interesting.
Handman is a very smooth, engaging writer, and while I didn't love the setting, the book mostly works.
There's no denying that Parker is a good writer, and that he's got this interesting character down to a T. I just wish he'd move on to U and V and W.
There's a host of clever ideas in here, but they're all mixed together in a murky mess, and none of them is properly developed.
