This second book in the Final Architecture series finds Idris helping the Parthenon to develop their own Intermediary program, while the Architects appear without warning to remake inhabited planets according to the aesthetic principles demanded by their unknown masters. The intricate, masterful world-building, vivid characters, and ratcheting tension made this an engaging and, as the end approached, riveting read.
