I'm enjoying this, I really am, but I keep tripping over little irritations - I keep trying to map Lynch's world onto reality, and it won't go. Grafs, for example. It sounded wrong, so I was forced to look it up: the plural of Graf is apparently Grafen. Damn my schoolboy German!

I'm really quite cross with the cover artist at this point. It's taken this long for me to stop thinking of Camorr as Venetian. I'm clearly also out of practice when it comes to this kind of fantasy - the first few pages are a soup of Proper Nouns and swearing.
