I liked this new book in Abercrombie’s universe as far as its writing and story went, but the problem is he made his formerly conflicted main bad guy so cartoonishly evil now that i’m having trouble caring about the rest of the series.
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.
