The worldbuilding in this novel (the new stuff at least) leads to a lot of things I feel very ...complicated about. This novel does not do any work to... Simplify the feelings of the reader. I respect that choice of the author. The big swings the author made, were pretty wild in the greater context, but I feel like we're not engaging with the ramifications of what the author is introducing enough (I felt that way for Cetaganda and this book at least). I don't think that counts against it, but does make me wonder how the events in this book may ripple into other stories in this setting. Maybe I'll get to see those ramifications later. I'll certainly read more.
