Several short stories have been released in anthos that are said to be chapters from this upcoming BC novel which seem to take place between the first BC book and the second. So I retain hope yet.

Not sure why it took me a second reading to get into them better; it may well have been me and not the books. I still think there's too much telling instead of showing, but it's an enormous canvas he's painting; I've never seen anything other than a history book so concerned with involved politics in so many centers.

I was so disappointed by Working God's Mischief that I have yet to return to them. My recollection is that it was an ending that seemed terribly rushed and sloppy, leaving me feeling let down because I'd enjoyed the first 3 books so very much. I'm pleased to hear that you find them improved the second time around. Would dearly love to read more Cook.
