message 2: by Elena (new)

Elena I started it last night. Too soon to say if I am going to like it, but I did buy it after reading the sample.


Chris  Haught (haughtc) | 916 comments I started it last night - got through the prologue. So far, it seems like it will be very good.


Linda Nguyen I read the book last year sometime. I'm now listening to the audiobook.


Tanya (funkyfairy) Brought it, Read it, Loved it and have read the sequel.



Cameron (cswagner) About halfway through this...it's amazing!

Jon (jonmoss) | 529 comments I'm about a quarter of the way into this novel. While this has been a good con/heist story, I'm wondering when/if it will have some more traditional fantasy elements. Aside from an almost alien-like architecture (Elderglass) and alchemy, I haven't seen any magic system or strange creatures. And this won a couple of Fantasy awards. So, I hope, something surfaces later on.
