The Glass of Dyskornis by Randall Garrett, Vicki Ann Heydron

3.0

I'm really enjoying this series, although the writing is definitely what I'd characterize as "old school" - at times it feels like reading, I don't know, a Dungeons & Dragons manual or something, as the author/narrator waxes professorial on the anthropological tendencies of a particular city-state. That said, the lack of sexism is really nice and this book introduces Tarani, a complex and interesting female lead who has an ongoing romantic/sexual relationship with someone other than our hero and a past as a sex worker (which was pragmatic and survival-based, albeit not regretted, rather than sexy-glamorous). The ongoing mystery remains unsolved so it's on to the next book in the series.
