Much of this is familiar, but not all and I still can't recall how this volume ends. Still holding out hope that all the "god" business is an engineered delusion. Brillist + Utopian conspiracy anyone?

Occasionally wondering if I should have started rereading from book 1, but I'm not that patient, he says, having waited 2 years after book 4 came out to get around to it at all...

My only complaint: The chapters are sooo damn long.

World's longest chapter. Enough tiny moments of familiarity have occurred to convince me I really did read this before, didn't just imagine I had. Love the language in this, I can't think of an sf series I loved this much in recent years, I just suck so bad at series it's taken 2 years to get back to it.

Reread so I can finally read book 4. It's like I never read this at all, nothing is even remotely familiar so far.

I am Headmaster of Brill's Institute and Steward of Gordian, the First Hive, which birthed the best age this planet has ever known. When I tell you to look at forty-eight pictures of things eating bananas, you do not ask why.

this is more politicy than vol 2 was :)

damn, too bad she's still alive

very good
