Right, criticisms: language seems a lot fouler this time around - not just because of the vulgar words, which at times feel odd coming from the mouth of a Gold , but also because they at times sound like, uh... 'Twitter-speak'. While the characters retain their depth and their actions feel authentic, the way they talk can sometimes feel out of place and bring me out of the immersion. I didn't see a single 'prime' until several dozen pages in. Tsc, tsc.
Also, there is a character named Xenophon who performs the role of a logos whose actions were described with the pronoun 'they', which I thought was in reference to the role since Xenophon is also referred to as a 'he'. I thought that would be an awesome idea, to assign a role another separate pronoun like a royal 'they' or some such. Except that Xenophon himself (and not the logos role) is referred to later as 'them'. So either I missed something or Pierce has not only managed to confuse the sh*t out of me but also himself. Moving on.
Those are my main criticisms so far. Just as I think a character is about to become predictable or that there is some sort of real-world moralising on the author's part, he consistently impresses me with his incredible knack for making character and plot development feel believable. His commitment to throwing these rich characters into their own universe and chronicling what feels like the natural outcome of their actions continues to grip me. I can only hope that he upholds this standard of work going forward.
