The Just City is the first book in a new philosophical fantasy trilogy by Jo Walton.  I had never read anything by Jo Walton when I received my advance copy of this book, but I had heard a lot of glowing praise.  So I’m about to jump on that bandwagon, because this book is one of the best new books I’ve read in awhile.  With a great concept, entertaining multidimensional characters, and a nod to one of philosophy’s most important works, Walton tells an utterly compelling and thought provoking story.
