Lightning rods

Felt unfinished in some ways, like a lot of foreshadowing threads about the downfall of the system weren't explored, but overall an enjoyable book. It was only lightly satirical, or way dry or something. I expected it to be sillier, but it seemed almost sincere.

I like my novels to be novels before they're anything else and this didn't quite make it. There were no living characters I cared about in it. Not even enough to hate them.
