This series is excellent.

The politics still make me angry, but they are supposed to. I hate that Torin just has to suck it up.

And I hate that reporter. Torin should have drop-kicked her down a shaft. Or left her behind when she insisted she wasn't going down the crate. People like that are TSTL, and should be kicked to the curb before they kill everyone.

But I loved the book, loved the characters, loved the story.
