    The Rook by Daniel O'Malley sticks out in my memory as the best thing I read this year. The plot seems kind of standard, but it's so well written, and the author seems to be having so much fun coming up with new wrinkles on a theme that I loved it. Actually got it from the library a second time a few months later to read again.
