That was a good book. So were the other (first) two in the Baroque Cycle trilogy. I read each one in a week -- a "fast read" from the local public library. At about 800+ pages each, and characters like Roger Comstock, Marquis de Ravenscar and spellings like "phant'sy", I don't think the library quite understood that even a "fast read" of any of these books is anything but.
