The Stone in the Skull by Elizabeth Bear
4.0
it is nice to read a fantasy novel that is complex and interesting but not unrelentingly grimdark
I liked this one a lot! The world is interesting, all four characters are fun and likeable (though the fourth is clearly the weakest of the bunch), I like the Gage and I like the Dead Man and I like both queens and their households and the weird dual-night world they live in. It is a bit of a shame that the book is all set up for war in future books, but it was a very enjoyable read and I'm going to pick up the sequels.
