reviewed Days of Shattered Faith by Adrian Tchaikovsky (The Tyrant Philosophers, #3)

Adrian Tchaikovsky: Days of Shattered Faith (2024) 4 stars

Welcome to Alkhalend, Jewel of the Waters, capital of Usmai, greatest of the Successor States, …

enjoyable but not quite lovable

4 stars

I've spent the last few years saying that Tchaikovsky is my favourite sci fi writer but something about this foray into fantasy just didn't hit for me, and I'm not exactly sure why. the writing was still beautiful and inventive, but the entire series felt somehow impersonal-- the characters more of a mechanism for conveying plot than actual people.
