One of the most interesting magic systems I've read in a long time ! I went into this almost blind (I had only read the very beginning of the description, about how it's about industrialized magic and I was in) and I had a blast.
I loved the “heist” flavour, I liked all the characters, they were all intriguing, well-written and flawed and I loved that ! I really liked the pacing too.
I liked the end a little bit less, it was all becoming too big for my liking.
I liked it !
Honestly the main thing that's preventing me to put this at 4 stars is the use of the first person, I just don't really enjoy that.
I really liked all of the intrigue and machinations. I didn't like the beginning as much though.
I think I'll pick up the next one.
Really enjoyable read ! I found the beginning a bit slow, but once everyone was together it was really fun and I loved how all the relationships developed. The romance was a bit cliché, but it was exactly the kind of cliché I was looking for so I really enjoyed it.
I found the ending a bit forced though.
My first read after years of reading almost nothing. I expected a “cliché” but nicely written story. I was a bit disappointed because I didn't like the prose nor the main characters. It was still entertaining and I really enjoyed the “folklore” elements (the fae creatures that are not the “Fae people”). I think the pace is also quite good.
