Two Serpents Rise by Max Gladstone
5.0
I love this book. It's everything Three Parts Dead was, and so much more. I love the world Max Gladstone has created, and the fully developed characters are a marvel in their complexity. Even the characters in the background have real personalities that shine through, and instead of being filler characters, actually add to the story. You might not like some of the characters, but you respect them because you feel like you know them as you read the story.
And the world. There's so much history lurking beneath the surface, and each glimpse Max gives us is like a treat. The magic is absolutely fantastic, yet it's made to seem so commonplace, which creates this strange atmosphere that I can't think of any other book that even comes close to it.
I highly recommend this book and it's predecessor. I can't wait for the next one.
