I often complain about writers explaining at me, but that's because most of them aren't very good at it.
RJB does it neatly but thoroughly, so that the eventual delivery of key scenes carry real weight. I already bought the other two books, which was smart, considering how this one ends, lots of balls in the air, potential everywhere. I read fairly fast, but this one took me two months, and I suspect the rest of the trilogy to be similar. This is a bizarre world with strange things going on, and it amuses me that he took programming and built a fantasy world on it. But this world is also messy and gritty and all too human. Classic RJB.

I really enjoyed exploring this world, the interactions of the different factions of the city was really interesting and all the twists and turns of the adventure kept me engaged. I can't wait to read more in this series.

I love so much about this book and looked forward to reading it every time I put it down. It’s definitely a bit more overt compared to other high fantasy but I had a wonderful time! In fact, I prefer my fantasy a bit less convoluted— more room for FUN!
