Super fun finish to the famous epic, gets more and more biblical in language as it goes on, way too many named characters and storylines to easily follow on a first readthru, not enough dwarves.
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.
