While covering equally interesting subject material, this book lags greatly behind its 2 predecessors. Both Szara and Khristo were substantially more interesting because of their mixtures of extreme competencies and incompetencies playing out both as part of and against the immense machines of war and espionage. De Mjilia is perfectly average at his job which leads to some of the quieter moments feeling meaningless and uninteresting.
