Dead Country by Max Gladstone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I don't know why this book or the rest of the Craft series isn't getting so much more attention than it has. The worldbuilding is lush and deep, its rules-based magic system so gorgeous and legalistic even as it is so balanced.
But this one -- this was was so grounded, very much a western in its basic plot form. It was very surprised how much I loved falling into it, growing more lush in its fantasy and UF feel.
I always loved the Craft series, and this is slightly different, even though we're back in the PoV of my first, and favorite character.
Coming home is hard. Coming to terms with yourself and your connections to everything you've ever know, is even harder.
Highly Recommended.
