4ndysmith 's review for:

Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett
4.0

An action packed story with a very unique setting—just not quite my favourite flavour.

I really liked the heists, the sneaking, the ‘magic’ / uniqueness of the protagonist, and the bits of wisdom sprinkled throughout the book (“Any given innovation that empowers the individual will inevitably come to empower the powerful much, much more.”) But the setting was depressing and the combinations of characters coming together seemed unrealistic and not fleshed out enough to me.
