So Jim Butcher is writing futuristic dystopian steampunk? You had me at Jim Butcher, actually. But the rest is cool too. Great action scenes, a fascinating world, and characters of a sort I've never seen before. Yup. This is everything I've come to expect from Jim Butcher, but in a delightful new flavor.

Wow. Just wow. Beware fellow readers, herein lies adventure that will keep you from food or rest. It is as if Jules Verne, H. Rider Haggard, Patrick O'Brien and... well, Jim Butcher all got together and wrote a book. Steampunk done very, very right. Butcher proves yet again that he is an amazing storyteller.

This is Jim Butcher at his best, drawing a full.
