I hope to! We shall see how much brain I can pull together when the time comes.

The Bas-Lag books I've had a love/hate relationship with -- so much mind-blowing awesome and at the same time, so much that made me want to shake them. The more recent stuff I can see is technically _fabulous_ but it keeps demanding a little more focus and brainpower than I've had available. This one is just delightful; there's clearly Stuff Going On all over the place in it but the return of all the id-tastic zany worldbuilding stuff is keeping me engaged in a way that the more controlled, more careful-feeling recent books haven't managed. I could not be more thrilled.
