![Cover of On the Calculation of Volume (Book IV) by Solvej Balle, paperback](./cover-12479520.png)

Ah heck, I typed a nice paragraph up about how this one is about community discourse, and naming things, and class and ecology, about how the climaxes of each book seem to be MacGuffins, and how the cracks in the repetition are continuing to be just magical and do not survive in-story scrutiny or reader scrutiny, they are just happening, but it got lost in posting? I'm bummed to be current now.
