The Philosopher Kings, Jo Walton

!!! I have so many thoughts and I'm not sure what I actually want to write down? What I really want is to sit in someone's living room with four or five other people who have read these and argue for hours like college students again. Book club at alum weekend? There's such a fascinating kind of nostalgia here - the nostalgia for that intellectualism - I was not so into the SFF nostalgia in Among Others but boy does Walton get me here. Wow, is this series interesting. The last one comes out at the end of June.

Augh, if I only Hugo-nominate one of Just City and Philosopher Kings, which one would I pick? PK made the Locus List, so might have more traction, but the central idea was fresher in JC. But PK has plenty going on, so, gah, hard call!
