Bane and Shadow by Jon Skovron
4.0
Excellent continuation of the trilogy! I actually liked this one better than the first book and was happily thrown into it. It moved slightly slower, but was no less brutal. Seriously biomancery is fucked up. People of the Paradise Circle isn't squeamish lacies either. Also what Mick the Sick did was real disturbing stuff. There's stuff that I will never be able to unsee.
I'm fully rooted for Red. As the pat wag that he is, he's stolen my heart and is reluctant to share it with anyone else (though Nettles and Sadie and Filler all three scared him into giving them each a bit of it). I ~almost~ fell sorry for the palace folks for all the shenanigans he threw around. Almost, but not really.
Looking forward for the final installment. Bit sad it's only a trilogy because I'm having such a big fun with these books.
