Hey, I like characters who are not stoic warriors! I may be consistently a sucker for them, but that is different. *dignified*

Anyway I do like political scheming so long as I care about the characters involved! (This was my trouble with Kushiel's Dart, which I never did finish. Or... get halfway through...) And so long as the characters are not all being idiots at once. Or at least not being idiots while the author is telling us how brilliant they are. It sounds as if this is not a trouble with this book/series!

And the worldbuilding does sound fun. *grin* Societybuilding is totally the best kind.
