Foundling

I just finished re-reading (or re-listening in my case) because I realized I never finished the series. It's been years since I last read Foundling but I remembered that the book was fantastic and my memory did not disappoint. It's about a young orphan boy who sets off on a journey full of twists and turns to become a lamplighter for the empire. The lamplighter life isn't what he wants but without any other prospects that's the life that is chosen for him. He encounters many dangerous people and monsters on his journey to get to the lamplighter HQ and that's the fun of the book. If you can get a copy of this book with the illustrations I would recommend it because even years later I still remember how cool the illustrations where.
