>ps: will start book 2 pretty soon
I'm not quite two-thirds of the way through _A Succession of Bad Days_
and I'm still wondering if it's ever going to develop a plot. But it's
engaging enough that I don't mind.
It does contain what I'm pretty sure is wish-fulfillment fantasy about
the kind of smithcrafting you could do if you were telekinetic and
didn't have to faff about with actual material tools but could just
shape molten metal directly with your mind; also some wish-fulfillment
about what kind of house Graydon would live in if he had infinite money.
(And access to telekinetic smiths.)
But hey, I've often wished I were telekinetic myself.
