A review by scrooge3
Last First Snow by Max Gladstone

3.0

I got bogged down by the first half of the book, which seemed to me to be mostly a long series of contract negotiations, not all that exciting. The second half does deliver a lot of action, but is still anchored by a lot of political machinations that aren't necessarily that interesting, and the ending is fairly well telegraphed ahead of time. The main characters are well written, but I had a hard time remembering who was whom among the supporting cast. One of the really nice things about this series is that each volume stands on its own, although there are lots of Easter eggs to connect the various books.
