Full of wit and fun.

This is the second book by Tamsyn Muir I'll have read, and I think she's going to be one of my favourite authors.

Really keeps you guessing what's going on.

An excellent start, then a bit of a slump after that.

Very entertaining!

Robbery, rape, blackmail, murder, treason, and genocide.

If this book ends with Gully failing at his goal and being destroyed by the people he's betrayed along the way, it'll make it worth it.

Why am I still reading about this asshole?

Halla is both a proto-Yoda (a feisty little old woman skilled at Force levitation, living on a swampy world, created before The Empire Strikes Back) and possibly also the eventual basis of Maz Kanata from The Force Awakens.

There were a lot more drugs and orgies at SF/fantasy conventions back in Offutt's days, apparently.
