Gladstone remains in top form. Like the rest of the Craft sequence, Full Fathom Five begins with some kind of worrying event, slowly builds the layers of mystery and then, slightly more than halfway through, becomes impossible to put down.
I really enjoy both halves of the book, the setup (which is never slow even when it's leisurely) and the denouement. It helps that Gladstone seriously sticks his endings.
Leaving aside the plot arc, the actual narrative is completely brilliant and mashes together fantasy worlds, contemporary capitalist concerns, and epic battles fought not with swords, but with contracts. And, as with so many of the authors I enjoy, fully realized characters.
Now I just need to decide whether to wait for the next book in paperback or just grab the kindle version that came out last week...
