perigou 's review for:

Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett
4.5
adventurous mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

One of the most interesting magic systems I've read in a long time ! I went into this almost blind (I had only read the very beginning of the description, about how it's about industrialized magic and I was in) and I had a blast.
I loved the "heist" flavour, I liked all the characters, they were all intriguing, well-written and flawed and I loved that ! I really liked the pacing too.
I liked the end a little bit less, it was all becoming too big for my liking.
