#### Cover
Epic! The black and yellow colour scheme and sharp lines draw you to it on the shelf instantly.
#### Initial Draw
I love a good thief/rogue centric book so I picked this up in the book store, read the blurb, and needed to buy it. It also sounded dark yet silly enough to be a quick refreshing palate cleansing read.
#### Characters
The characters were all great and expertly described. The humour that the main character, Kinch, conveys to every scenario made this a super enjoyable read.
#### Pacing
Super quick. There was never a dull moment in this book and I read it in two sittings.
#### Finish line feeling
Sufficiently wrapped up the main quest line of the first book and left me yearning for more! Overall it was a great short start to a new series that would serve a great entry point to the fantasy genre.

#### Cover
Great matching cover to the rest of the series and most importantly they stand out on the shelf.
#### Initial Draw
This is the first standalone after the First Law trilogy so is a must read for anyone who loved the trilogy. It has just enough linkages to the trilogy while also working well as a standalone that could be read (or watched with the upcoming TV series) without having read any other "First Law" books.
#### Characters
Nobody writes characters like Joe. You can tell the character without their name ever being uttered by his excellent portrayals and mannerisms.
Shivers does an excellent job of filling the lead character role despite his relatively brief involvement in the first trilogy.
#### Pacing
With an almost 700 page book the pacing is expertly handled with fast and medium portions expertly weaved to keep things flowing. None of it slowed down sufficiently to make it feel like it was dragging on.
#### Finish line feeling
Excellent. Can't wait for the TV show and I can't wait to read the rest of the first law series and Joe's new book "The Devils"

While it was still and enjoyable book it felt very much like suddenly the author realised near the end that they were writing a trilogy and rushed to wrap up as many loose ends as possible. I feel many of the plotlines of this book could have taken another book to expand and explore more thoroughly and be written with more suspense.
