I’m not going to lie: many of you might find L.E. Modesitt’s Councilor: A Novel in the Grand Illusion a bit dry. The series itself is mostly concerned with political shenanigans in a steampunk-ish parliament, with the occasional assassination and/or government chicanery tossed in. I like it, but I can recognize that not everybody will. Still, it was what I was reading this week.
So it goes.

I’m still trying to figure out if I like L.E. Modesitt’s Isolate: A Novel in the Grand Illusion. It’s gaslamp psionics (some people can project emotions; some people are really susceptible to that, others are totally immune), mixed with political intrigue. But our hero… takes meetings. On things like guild complaints that fine arts products are being classified as cookware, in order to avoid a higher import tariff. This isn’t exactly riveting stuff.
On the other hand, I like Modesitt’s writing style, and the world is promising to be sliding into interesting times. So, there’s that.
