![]() In Full Fathom Five, idols are molded and created by the Order for pilgrims. Things that we are all too familiar with-job security, market shares, salesman-client relationships-are cheekily disguised as fantasy elements, which makes them much more interesting. Each detail is painstakingly melded into the story so that you feel as if you are right there with the characters. ![]() Each book in this series can easily stand on its own, so reading the first two books first isn’t necessary-but why would you want to miss out on them? Gladstone’s world is full of gods and idols, sea monsters and Craftswomen, nightmares and pools where you can remake yourself. This is the third book in Max Gladstone’s Craft Sequence, and as much as I loved the last two books, I think this may be his best yet. ![]() The size of a cherry now, a fig, lemon orange apple pineapple watermelon. ![]() At its bottom, pinhead small but growing larger, lay the pool, another sky into which they could fall forever. The color of the sea changed, wine-red and spreading. They did not slip from realm to realm so much as burst through. They fell through space and worlds, following that unseen beacon. The nitty-gritty: A world that shimmers with magic, female characters that do wonderful and impossible things, and a layered story that will keep you riveted.
