Really good bridge in this trilogy. Much better than most middle books. The book had a completely different tone than the first, much more of a swashbuckler (although the first also had its moments.) I very much look forward to the third.

This shit is like Harry Potter for relatively sharp adults: fun, harmless. Stephenson does a little much with the descriptions of places, but he makes up for it with pirate battles, samurai, Versailles intrigue, etc.
