A unique world with inventive magic and led by compelling characters, FOUNDRYSIDE is a great story about a thief who steals the wrong item and must fight to uncover its secrets before they get her killed.
Sancia is the perfect sort of hero for this kind of plot. She is tough, resourceful, witty, and has a complex backstory that adds to the plot and other characters. She is joined by other characters, such as the haunted but well-meaning Gregor to unravel the mystery of her surprisingly chatty artifact.
Not only are the characters layered, but the plot also has a good deal of depth. What seems like a simple mistake at first steadily grows to an incredibly dangerous situation. It never feels forced and is filled with both danger and twists. I really enjoyed seeing where the story ended up going and how the characters were forced to think outside the box.
The pacing and prose are solid, allowing for readers to be immersed in the world. And the world is quite deep, allowing for detailed immersion.
I had a great time reading this series and think it will appeal to fantasy readers looking for a bit of steampunk, and anyone who enjoys construction or science. A smart book that is not to be missed!
