All Hail Chaos
by Sarah Rees Brennan
Book 2 in Time of Iron
Book two goes bigger and meaner without dropping the meta joke: Rae knows the story, but every fix makes Eyam more dangerous. It is messy and viciously funny, with romance that keeps asking whether devotion counts if the beloved keeps sharpening the knife.
