Diverse, very informative on forms of government, practically perfect in every way! 
All of the political background and abbreviations in the beginning make it drag a bit Unique characters, settings and plot, Thoroughly entertaining You should really read the two books before thisbut that's not really a disadvantage! Combines humor , science, magic and good characterization in a fairly well balanced blend. Extreme situations and tightly packed with informationSometimes feels like it is too cluttered or rushed An exceptional series that I'd recommend heartilly to anyone and everyone! Not the best written books, but still enjoyableA Small Deceit - Margaret Yorke
