Galaxy spanning empire and political intrigue? You had me at galaxy, but ok - probably most people aren't as into these tropes as I am. As worn as they are, this read doesn't offer much new - though the plot pivoting on poetry at multiple points is fun.
This book does however join the ranks of those whose character names are etched indelibly in my consciousness, repeated over and again like a pop hook. 19-Ads and 3-Seagrass stand alongside Pham Nuwen and Dalinar Kholin, waiting their turn til they can eat my brain again.
