Wicked Problems by Max Gladstone
Gladstone brought every character back he has ever written about for an Avengers like super book. I spent a lot of the book vaguely remembering some of the characters and their motivations. Fortunately, Tara Abernathy stood strong in the center along with Saint Abelard. It's a chase book as the group tries to stop Dawn, who is trying to save the world from outer space spiders. But what Dawn is doing might be playing into the hands of the invaders.
There is so much going on and the story has tons of layers of texture. I felt like I should go back and read the Craft sequence again just to keep up. If you haven't read any previous Gladstone books, you will need to do this. Fortunately, I have book 3 waiting on the shelf.

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