Complicated
Following the bombastic introduction of Locke and Jean in the first book, Red Seas Under Red Skies places these characters in a foreign land with foreign rules.
Broke and alone they are placed exactly two-steps behind the world around them. It goes from casino heist to swashbuckling adventure and somehow managed to make me bawl within those parameters.
This series is a masterpiece in character writing and I spent my whole time reading purely excited to see how the characters react and what would happen next.
While this book felt like a departure from the original whimsy towards a darker tone, it still excelled in building Locke and Jeans relationship.
