>> I've probably read more books by Stephen King than any other author. Which makes sense since he's so unusually prolific. He's just an amazing writer, even with his flaws :) His characters and dialogue tend to be consistently amazing.

|
|
> This week I'm recommending the [Merchant Princes](http://amzn.to/2kC4YGt) series by Charles Stross. The story starts as a fairly standard portal fantasy, but it's a heavily deconstructionist take on the genre. For one, Miriam Beckstein is a thirty-something tech journalist rather than a teenager or author stand-in. For another, there's a heavy focus on socio-cultural matters rather than raw exploitation of technology. The ending, which I'll leave unspoiled, was my favorite part of the book, but one of the thigns I really appreciated was that in terms of exploitation, this was a lived-in world, where the clan of world-walkers had already tried all the obvious stuff, and where strategies and counter-strategies had been deployed back and forth for years by the time the protagonist finally shows up. Stross, as always, shows a heavy attention to detail in the way he writes, which sometimes verges on being detrimental to the work, but for me, strikes just the right balance.

> There are six books in the series, or three if you're reading the condensed versions; the Merchant Princes series has the benefit of being complete, so you can race straight through it if you'd like.
