“Second book in the Engineer trilogy: fantasy without most of the traditional tropes of magic and strange beasts.Liked it a lot, though it's not quite as fresh as the first. Parker is suitably ruthless with her characters, allowing disasters and humiliations to happen. Also the plot unfolds a little predictably this time, though a new character does liven things up a bit. Not sure this is naturally a trilogy: might have been better to trim it down and do it as one volume.On the plus side, it keeps handling the characters well, and the plot is carefully constructed. Will have to see what the third volume is like.”
