The Devil's Evidence by Simon Kurt Unsworth
5.0
I gave the first Thomas Fool book four stars, and said that if character development had matched the incredible worldbuilding of Hell, it would've been a book for the ages.
Ask and ye shall receive, I guess!
I love this book. Love love love it. While Thomas Fool was more of a blank slate in book 1, still operating under the "don't draw attention" defense mechanism necessary to survive in Hell, by book 2 the character is really coming into his own. He's the Commander of the Information Men now, and while he's still at the mercy of demons and angels and the cosmic battle between them, he's not going to be a passive cog anymore. Give this book credit for a tremendous amount of character building in 300ish pages!
And as in book #1, the worldbuilding and setting are exquisite. Horrible, horrific, sometimes disgusting and sometimes glorious, but always memorable.
