love the plot but i was too stupid to understand all the historical references/intellectual conversation (which took up more of the book than anything else - pretty unnecessary imo). also i was hoping to see the descent into debauchery rather than just be told about it. i picked up this book primarily for the corruption arc so it was pretty disappointing :/
