Charles Stross, The Clan Corporate
Tor (2006) ISBN: 0-765-30930-0
Score: 1
Third book of the Merchant Princes, in which Merriam gets pushed around a lot. Despite the title, there's only one short scene that has anything to do which business; the rest is all politics (conspiracies, duties of women, preparations for war). I also found it odd the back cover blurbs all talk about how funny and amusing the first two books were while this one, well, isn't. The ending is very abrupt, since it's the first part of a novel that was too big to publish in one volume.
Next Book: Dave Duncan, The Gilded Chain

You're in for a treat with The Gilded Chain, which while very much genre fantasy, is quite well done.

Semi-spoiler:
I found The Clan Corporate to be right at my limit of how much unrecompensed crap I want to see a protagonist take, and the abrupt cutoff before she could do anything useful about it didn't help at all.
I will, however, continue to read the series for at least one more book.
