I found this book a while back through random means (i.e. so I didn't know the LoC keywords, though I still figured out the premise pretty early), but it's strange: reading your review, the book sounds like just my thing. Yet when I read it, I wasn't hooked by the narrative at all. I appreciated the themes of the book, loved what it was trying to accomplish--but it didn't work on the entertainment level.
I had not planned on reading Book Two, but I may after all to compare with a more recent opinion.
