This Is How You Lose the Time War by Max Gladstone, Amal El-Mohtar
Did not finish book. Stopped at 14%.

When not comparing to the original book, this is quite a wonderful book. Unfortunately it is hard to think of it outside of its legendary predecessor. Seeing the inner workings of Gilead from other perspectives was very interesting though.

Coming off the heels of Lovers and Gamblers, which was a plodding mess filled with miserable characters, this was a joy. Nearly novella length, the plot moved at a breakneck pace, the debauchery didn’t take away from the story, and the characters were fun to be around.
