Point of Knives

I just don't find these novels of Astreiant very satisfying. They are police procedurals set in an alternative Renaissance-ish period with mages and necromancers. I don't quite know if it's the police procedural part or the period, but I found this book very boring. Even the gay relationship in it doesn't help. I figure I must be missing something because these books have a lot of fans. I'm going to keep trudging through them though to get to the book that won the Gaylactic Spectrum award for best novel. Hopefully, I'll be so familiar with the universe that I might actually start to like it.
