Bayou Vol. 2 by Jeremy Love

4.0

A little more complicated than the first one--faster paced, more jumping around--but a lot more parallels. I love the way it submerges you simultaneously in two different worlds--both the fantastic world ruled by the Boss Man and populated by fables and magic, and the equally strange and mystical and dangerous South of the 1920s. We spend almost no time in the "real" world in this book, but it doesn't matter--it's there, part of the characters and the speech and everything that's happening in the fantasy. It's strange and dangerous and beautiful all at once.
