Dead Country by Max Gladstone
I am so happy that Gladstone is back in the world of the Craft, a type of magic that is more legal than mythic. I thought his las two books weren't very good, but he is back on target with Dead Country.
Tara is going back to her home town Edgemont to bury her father, a town she ran away from because they treated her so horribly. Bad things happen and she has to save the town that scorned her.
The writing is so good for this tale. It felt like a western, much like what Joe Abercrombie did with Red Country many years back. I loved the setting blended with the usual Craft shenanigans. I can't wait for the next books.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
