Will you like it?
If you like fantasy, then you will love this book. The plot is wonderful: Oceans Eleven combined with magic. LOVE. The fantasy elements are almost steampunk in nature- tanks side by side with horses, swords side by side with guns, magic side by side with science. The characters are built over the entire novel, layer by layer. Overall, if you love fantasy, steampunk elements, and wonderfully imperfect characters, this book is for you.
Disclosure: I borrowed a copy of this book from my local library.
