The reading experience
Why it stands out.
The financial jokes are structural rather than decorative: quest markets, professional heroes, and the treatment of so-called monsters drive both the plot and its moral argument.
The opening book has its own expedition but leaves the larger economic and political conflict for the completed sequels.
