Last First Snow by Max Gladstone
5.0
I read Three Parts Dead a while back, but decided to go with chronological order for this readthrough.
The Craft Sequence has perhaps the most original magical system, and never has contract negotiation been more interesting. That's really all that happens in the first half of Last First Snow, but it doesn't ever feel particularly slow. Then just as it seems like everything's all done and wrapping up nicely, it all falls apart and chaos reigns supreme until the end of the story.
It's a nice introductory look at Elayne Kevarian, and a somewhat softer introduction to the Craft than Three Parts Dead.
