Book Review: Days of Shattered Faith by Adrian Tchaikovsky

When the Palleseen empire comes to town, they play for keeps, something that the melting pot city of Usmiat finds in this latest entry of the Tyrant Philosophers series by Adrian Tchaikovsky, Days of Shattered Faith. Fans of the first two books will find fun surprise returns, but the meat of this book are the new cultures and people that find themselves unwittingly pitted against the Ends and Means Commission of the Palleseen empire. Perhaps more meandering in its path than before, this entry managed to hook me in all the same with the plight of Usmiat.
