Forging Hephaestus

Even though I'm not fond of villain stories, I really liked this book. That's mostly because the main character villains aren't particularly villainous. They participate in illegal activities, like theft, but still follow a moral code. I also liked that there were some pretty unusual super powers, but it never felt silly.

It's longer than an average novel, but the length feels right and the living is good.

I'm really looking forward to the next book in the series.
