The Iron Jackal by Chris Wooding

5.0

God I just can't get enough of these novels. And [b:The Ace of Skulls|20495234|The Ace of Skulls|Gollancz|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1389230407s/20495234.jpg|33616801] is the last one! What are you doing to me, Wooding!?

Iron Jackal starts off just like the first two; the Ketty Jay gets a job, and it goes wrong. Except this time the job doesn't go wrong - everything else does. It is definitely the darkest of the Ketty Jay novels yet, and for a light-hearted steampunky romp it wrenched my heartstrings more times than I'd like to mention.

I seriously cannot recommend this series enough. It is positively brilliant.
