The Watcher in the Shadows by Chris Moriarty
Sequel to The Inquisitor's Apprentice. This one was pretty much more of the same: quick-paced YA magic adventures in early 1900's New York, with interesting world-building. See previous post. Although I am bemused by the IWW being portrayed as consisting entirely of teenagers, but YA, I guess, and I am pleased that the IWW is there.

Earth Logic by Laurie J. Marks (#2 in the Elemental Logic series)
I started this in the confident expectation that I would love it, and I did. I love that it's fantasy that engages seriously with social issues, more specifically with how peace can be made between two peoples who are enemies. It reminds me a little of Jo Walton's The King's Peace/The King's Name in that way. I also really like all of the main characters, and their close-knit chosen family group makes me a bit wistful. Also there's lots of great descriptions of food in the book (one of the characters is a cook). Recommended.
