The Demon's Lexicon by Sarah Rees Brennan
I finished it in 24 hours, not because it was extremely suspenseful but so I could reread SRB's livejournal comments about Mae. I'm on Team Jamie the Charmingly Awkward (and gay, which is mentioned in passing, and I think Alan is intentionally ambiguously bi). Like but don't love Alan, same for Mae, indifferent to Nick the sociopath. Stoic characters are more interesting (to me, anyway) when they're repressed rather than truly emotionless. Take Cara in Legend of the Seeker - we all know that deep down she loves Richard and Kahlan.
The opening scene with the ravens was well-done, though I'd like to know why Nick kept his favorite sword under the sink of all places. I didn't figure out that they were Not Blood Related, but I wasn't surprised. The language was nothing to write home about. Oddly for a fanfiction writer's novel, I don't ship anything right now. I kept on waiting for a lexicon of a demon to appear; the title ended up being metaphorical.
I'm still going to read the second one. It has more of Sin, who sounds interesting, and maybe Mae's voice is better than Nick's.
Has anyone written a Supernatural crossover yet? Or a Leandros brothers one, or both?
EDIT: Emotionless or Stoicism doesn't make one a sociopath. There's nothing wrong with being emotionless or stoic. It's just that Nick never does anything to make me fond of him.
