This book is really fun, and would have got 4*, but

I am of the personal opinion that authors who kill off the lovable cheeky urchin for an emotional reaction   deserve to suffer

and so points were deducted. Other than that a great romp through a well built world with complex lore, lovable characters and witty dialogue.
