I enjoyed the exploration of the Censorate, both physical and sociological, and the human side of the story was good enough to make me care and keep reading. What I enjoy most in this series is how personal it is. Characters don’t solve problems by submitting the proper form to the correct department before the deadline. They talk to each-other man to man. Or sometimes fight to the death.
