I enjoyed the first book in the Craft Sequence a lot, but I liked this one even more. (The books can be read independently of each other, as they share a setting but otherwise have nothing to do with each other.) I love/am jealous of the way Max Gladstone melds Hardboiled Detective with Baroque Aztec-ish Fantasy, making a delicious mix of razor-sharp banter, knight-in-tarnished-armor thriller, poetic description, and weird magic. Two Serpents Rise is just a really terrific novel in all kinds of ways.
