Now that I have read the third novel in this series, I can say with some certainty that while these weird fantasy books are fun and mostly engaging, in my personal opinion they could do with a bunch less florid description and a bunch more weird action.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
