a delight for political fantasy lovers. I just wish Carey would stop inserting adventure plots into a story of a protagonist entirely not fit for them

sherwoodreads's review against another edition

I still had problems with the central idea, but everything else was so much more appealing than in the first book.

3rd time reading.
Still love it, nothing else to add. It was long at time, the description or little things I thought were not important, but the plot and the adventure make it totally worth it.

FPP: leaving for La Serenissima to look for Melisande
Midpoint: getting betrayed by Melisande and sent to La Dolorosa
SPP: reuniting with Josceline and thr Yeshuites

This book on a plot level is just so brilliant. I love the complex relationships and the believable failings of the characters, it was just beautifully done. My only complaint, as with the first one, is with the worldbuilding that is literally just our world with different names, but the story is good enough to make me forget that. Truly a masterpiece.
