Anent my previous to @cstross.bsky.social I finished The Regicide Report and am very happy to say he stuck the landing. In any 1M+ word series that's downright rare. Charlie pulled off a finish that doesn't leave unanswered any critical questions but also doesn't tie everything up in a too-neat bow.
