"On the island of Kavekana, Kai builds gods to order, then hands them to others to maintain. Her creations aren't conscious and lack their own wills and voices, but they accept sacrifices, and protect their worshipers from other gods--perfect vehicles for Craftsmen and Craftswomen operating in the divinely controlled Old World. When Kai sees one of her creations dying and tries to save her, she's grievously injured--then sidelined from the business entirely, her near-suicidal rescue attempt offered up as proof of her instability. But when Kai gets tired of hearing her boss, her coworkers, and her ex-boyfriend call her crazy, and starts digging into the reasons her creations die, she uncovers a conspiracy of silence and fear--which will crush her, if Kai can't stop it first"--

An interesting jump from 2 Serpents - it’s nice to see characters from the other books overlapping.

I didn’t love Izza for most of the book, plucky urchin wasn’t my favorite. The end also went a little fast to tie Teo and Cat into the plot.

I didn’t mind the relative lack of craft, but there also wasn’t much in the way of wizard-lawyering, which tends to be my favorite part of these books.

Anyway that’s just nitpicking, it’s a solid 4.

Love the way that everything comes around in this book to connect with the other books in the series. Very much looking forward to the next books in the series.

Continue to enjoy this series- nothing earth-shaking, but a fun world, with decently-drawn characters, that always talks about/works with the interesting central conceit (lawyers, bankers, etc. in a magical world) without rubbing your face in it.
