Adrian Tchaikovsky: House of Open Wounds (2023) 5 stars

City-by-city, kingdom-by-kingdom, the Palleseen have sworn to bring Perfection and Correctness to an imperfect world. …

A sequel that is even better than the first book

5 stars

I think I might have enjoyed this book more than anything else I've read this year.

It was fun to read: - about a team that runs well because everyone uses their strengths to make up for each others weaknesses, - about what happens with Maric Jack after the big change for him at the end of City of Last Chances, how a wide variety of magic types can work together, - how various gods can fit into things, and - how everything all comes together for a satisfying conclusion.

I am eager for the next instalment, Days of Shattered Faith, due out in December 2024.
