Perhaps I'm suffering from early-onset curmudgeonry, but I thought Lerris' teenaged obtuseness added realism
I finished up
The Magic Engineer (book 3) last week.
Towers of Sunset got much better toward the end.
The Magic Engineer repeated the formula of the first book in many respects, following a gifted young exile who lived as a craftsman on the continent until the irrepressible evidence of his innate Order brought him to the center of world events. There's some point to the similarities, though, and the particulars are quite different--his chosen craft takes the story in a quite different direction. Also, the protagonist isn't quite as dumb as Lerris (or, arguably, Creslin in book 2)
