This is a steampunk adventure with high stakes from the first chapter.
It’s a relatively short read, but so jam-packed with action and intensity that I felt like i wouldn’t have minded if it had gone on for another 500 pages.
I found the cast extremely easy to love, and I loved their chaotic interactions with one another. It felt like found family meets a band of DND adventurers.
I found Sicarius, the stoic assassin, to be SO swoonworthy despite him being probably the most morally grey fictional man I’ve ever met.
