This was briefly brought up in a conversation I was having with someone in The Ring. They mentioned that the political aspects were too much in Tratior's Moon. But I like all of the political action that came up in that book. I personally liked it because it's not very often that I find the political plot developed so much in a Fantasy/Sci-Fi book. I like to think of it as just one of the many aspects that set it apart from the others. It could also be because I'm interesting in political life. sweatdrop
What are your thoughts?

Well, I got through it once. (: My actual feelings on that are that I read too much fantasy where the politics are the driving motivations. They usually influence everything to the point where I'm pulling my hair. :/ So I guess it's more the fact that I hate being controlled (or the characters being controlled, really) without any options. Does that make any sense? XD
And I'm easily confused by Aurenfaie names. XD

I love the Aurenfaie names and language. This is also coming from someone who is easily fascinated by any language that isn't English. (Although, I do have to admit that whenever the term man-child appears in the books, I laugh).
It does make sense. It's what I like about the Nightrunner series. But as I said before, it could be because I'm interested in political anything by nature.

When I first read through the series, I wanted to tell Seregil to shush because I couldn't keep up with him. Then the third one came and by then I'd warmed up to the political part of the book. I disliked politics at the time because people got really immature when they spoke politics.
Now I love politics because I'm no longer in the younger age braket, though I've always been mature for my age, and thus can talk to an older group about it without feeling as awkard.
The Tamír Triad, though, had me fall in absolute love with the politics. I went back through the Nightrunner series and was very, very happy every time something political came up because I had a greater background of it. So I ended up falling in love with the third one all over again.
Without spoiling, I'll just say I was a bit dissapointed I didn't get much more of an insight into politics in the 4th one. O: (It was still absolutely amazing, though.)

I liked the political aspects because it adds substance to Alec and Seregil's nightrunning. Without such political substance and motives, they would merely be two awesome guys doing cool nightrunning instead of the shadow players who help keep the kingdom stable with their sneaky ways. I admit it took me about two times of reading the third book to puzzle out the Aurenfai parts, but they greatly enrichened the plot.

It definitely added a lot to the story. Just another bit that made it that much better. I sometimes had to re-read something to get it in my mind so that it would stick and I would remember or get it, but that's because I'm horrible with names.
I definitely advice the Tamír Triad, though. It gives you a really good background that makes it all so much easier~ But I think I already said that?
