I loved reading this book!
It’s Avatar the Last Airbender but make it Victorian & instead of mastering the elements you burn metals to manipulate your surroundings. Also with a few “avatars” instead on one.
I also think the story is very similar in tone & characters to Six of Crowd by Leigh Bardugo. But it read a little more mature to me, while Six of Crows felt more YA. But I think if you enjoyed one you’d enjoy the other. 
The world & magic system are so well thought out. Every time I thought I found a loophole it was explained away soon after as if the author was reading my mind! 
This book honestly felt like a stand alone. But I am still eager to pick up the next in the series!

Este libro me regreso el amor a las historias de fantasía ♥️

El autor hace un buen trabajo en adentrar al lector a este nuevo mundo y explicar conforme lees la historia el sistema de magia que existe en este lugar. 

La trama es bastante adictiva y es fácil de empatizar con los personajes y lo que sucede, te dan ganas de querer saber más.
