The Republic of Thieves by Scott Lynch

Although I was still enthralled by this story overall, especially since I just inhaled it from start to book 3 in a single week, I will say that it's harder to follow than the previous two, with a bit of navel-gaziness and a less cohesive and satisfying plot - here's hoping book 4 comes around.

Seeing Like a State by James C. Scott

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.
