I finished
Broken Homes, which I managed to get into quite a bit more towards the end. I have to say that while this particular instalment didn't quite capture me the same way some of the previous books in the series did, and I found the plot pretty light, it still turned out to be very enjoyable.
Last night I started
The Garment of Shadows by Laurie R. King. The first third has so far had a bit too much emphasis on politics for my tastes, but I think that now the "this is what the situation was in Morocco in the 1920s" infodump-ish part is mostly over, I should be able to get into it more. I'm blaming my general tiredness these days for just wanting to skip all those parts - it's actually pretty interesting, or would be if my brain could process it at present.

Oh, excellent.
(I should say that only the first three books were released in the US; the rest of the now-complete series is available, well, pretty much everywhere else in the world but only as imports in the US / for ebooks, "travelling" in one's preferred shop is needed. Not that I know where you are or if this is relevant, but as the first book was retitled
Scepter of the Ancients only for the US market, I'm assuming it might be!)
