I got an arc of this book and i really enjoyed it. it was a good adventure following Kinch around. Never felt like an info dump. beautiful integration of Languages mixing and misinterpretation. No map, but the geography wasn't confusing. I never felt lost in the story.

CAWPILEI don't enjoy songs in books, but i thought they were done well, just not for me.Characters.Characters are all people, some people we only meet briefly don't necessarily feel 100%, but most are.AtmosphereAtmosphere is amazing, it really pulls you into the story and you don't want to leaveWritingBeautiful writing, excellent prose and word choice. very creative cursing and general amazing use of language. could have a bit shorterPlotThe Plot is good, but mostly hidden from us and Kinch for the Majority of the book, but i think he forshadowed enough things to not completely surprise me so i enjoyed thatIntrigueThere was a lot of intrigue, and misdirection but it all played well towards a good endLogicLogic existed and was used. Nothing was every brought up that was outside the bounds of what was explainedEnjoymentI very much enjoyed this book and look forward to many things from Christopher Buehlman in the future
