It feels pretty well rounded and involved for how short it is. I thought it was a great urban fantasy novella that kept me interested and felt worth the time. There were no plot or character threads I was left wanting more from, everything wrapped up in a good satisfying way. It's a great little tale of people who have been stepped on working towards getting back at the nefarious rich people responsible, all with the help of a smart magic using lady with hints of intrigue about her, all happening against the backdrop of a fun turn of the century old timey setting.
It is told in a non-linear fashion. Things happen and then you see events from an earlier point in time that lead up to what you just saw. I didn't mind it and putting it together added some interest in my opinion but if that approach isn't for you then this book may not be either. It a short enough book and a quick enough read I can't see it being much of a put off for most folks though.
