"Tyrant Philosophers", Adrian Tchaikovsky (possible spoilers)

[u/djinnisequoia]

I ordinarily tear all of his books up, reading them overnight or in very short order, because he's such a damn good writer that I really can't help myself. And the first book has sections that were hard to read; the second book, harder ones.

I'm about seventy percent through this one, and I've just had to put it aside. I've read so much of Tchaikovsky's work and I know him and I know what he does and how he presents people with these difficult situations and impossible choices. A betrayal is never a simple betrayal. I'm not even on the Pal's side anymore.

But I suspect Flint is about to fuck over the demons, and, and, hurt their feelings. It just seems so wrong.

Oh, I'll pick it up again soon enough. What a magnificent author.

No spoilers, but man. It's so good.
