One Salt Sea by Seanan McGuire
4.0
[2020:] I think this was the one where I finally turned and said "okay Damon, you have to read these, because I'm tired of not being able to share the jokes with you."
[2015:] This book was 80% what I always wanted this series to be, totally hitting the series stride where the rules and the geography are comfortable, and the characters are familiar enough (and so awesome) that you can see how they're changing and guess what they're not saying. The other 20% felt like tidying up some things that had to be dealt with eventually, so why not now. No complaints about the plotting, the stakes, the new characters introduced, or the development of existing ones (and wow, it's rare that I don't have a gripe about one of those).
I also really appreciated that Toby actually consumed some food and got some sleep.
