Yearly reread of my #1 favorite book(s). Love the smooth writing, love the cast of older competent characters, love that the main character is not in any way special, just a good mosaicist. Love the sense of empathy and friendship present throughout the book, love the action scenes; battles? no: horse races. Love the usage of unconventional one-time point-of-view characters to build the world.

Lots to love.
