Description

We are treated to more information about the Practitioners of the USA and how the various states regulate the use of magic, and the ways this differs from their European counterparts. It’s hard to say much about the story because of spoilers, but there was a twist I guessed at ahead of time, too. There were mass graves of prisoners all over Germany and occupied Europe, and once you were shot in the head and dumped in a pit nobody could tell a wizard from anybody else.

I loved hearing that Aaronovitch enjoys listening to the books as a refresher when writing new ones.I think the foxes are originally from The Furthest Station and Maksim from one of the series comics but yes, they have both appeared in more recent books since then. I don't know if that's Aaronovitch rebelling against the current political climate, or me noticing it because it's an oasis in an increasingly-isolationist age. Like you, I really enjoyed this book, but then, I’ve never DISLIKED a book in this series, so I’m easy.

I hadn't actually forgotten a whole novel's worth of adventures, for False Value is told in a series of discombobulating flashbacks, identified only by reference to the month at the start of each chapter. The new characters introduced in this one, while most are probably only going to be in this one, were deep and developed and interesting. Some of the stuff about the history of the mary engine was hard to follow, and I still don’t entirely understand how the villain(s) was / were able to accomplish all that they did.

Plus it did a fantastic job of having magic collide with tech (those magic-infused drone dragonflies will haunt my nightmares!
