As I said before, Gen’s transformation, even while he’s winning in the political realm, gives A Conspiracy of Kings a decidedly tragic flavor. I’m left desperate to see what happens in the next book, whether the old Gen will emerge again, or will he continue on his current trajectory?
Hi. Just popping back in with another comment. As I said before, I agree with your assessment of Gen's change in A Conspiracy of Kings. But today I ran across an interview (http://hipwritermama.blogspot.com/2009/11/wbbt-megan-whalen-turner.html) that Ms. Turner gave in April where she describes Conspiracy as being about Sophos and "also about Gen, who hasn't changed much at all, at least not in important ways. He frets. He sulks. He has the occasional temper tantrum, but comes through in the pinch."

Hmmmmm... I don't get it.
