THEY CALL IT "THE CITY OF A HUNDRED ROWS". The ancient city of Thaiburley is a vast, multi-tiered metropolis. The poor live in the City Below and demons are said to dwell in the Upper Heights. Having witnessed a murder in a part of the city he should never have been in, street thief Tom has to run for his life. Down through the vast city he is pursued by sky-borne assassins, sinister Kite Guards, and agents of a darker force intent on destabilizing the whole city. His only ally is Kat, a renegade like him, but she has secrets of her own...
Reviews with the most likes.
Pros: Interesting world (OK, city), not-obvious plot (except the “orphan with unusual powers” trope which is really old) and interesting enough to check out the sequel.
Cons: Poorly formated ebook – no “scene splits”. And the ending blatantly setting up a sequel, which fortunately had been written and published, but without it one major plot would be unresolved (I assume it is resolved in volume 2).
