Good story and well told. The main character being thoroughly unpleasant is something I often have trouble with though but overall enjoyable
@tinheadned Ta. Will have to think about it. I don’t really see it as a grimdarkness type thing. I find the whole Builders plot devices to be a bit deus ex machina and detract from what could be a better story.

@tinheadned Yeah I feel the same. Might not bother with the last one. That said, many trilogies struggle a bit in book 2 - does the third one improve?
Great, enjoyed the recent TV adaptation and wanted to see where it came from. Excellent story with a feel of documentary about it
