Full Fathom Five by Max Gladstone
4.0
My favourite of the series so far. As always, it's the world that draws in me to the Craft Sequence, as it slowly shows up all the angles of how they got to where they are, and how things work (now, then, and into the future). But here I also grew wholly attached to pretty much all the characters, from the protagonists to those who barely appear.
One of the most intriguing things about the series is that you can't, quite, map it to a time or a place in the world we know. Almost, but not quite. Yet somehow the mind keeps trying to do just that because there are enough details (geographically, linguistically, socially) that you think you know.
