Very engaging, but not emotionally grabbing for me. When tragedy strikes I want to feel it inside, and here I was just an outside observer and the felt none of the emotions the characters were embroiled in. I do not like being so detached from a story, yet it is honestly engaging me. Some analysis is in order.

Plot begins at about the 25% mark. The characters themselves were already plotting like made--but until this point the scenes are just vingettes that get us the character of Locke, his fellow Gentleman Bastards and the city. There's lots there, though the story itself doesn't begin in until amazingly deep into the novel.

10% in. No plot yet. Setting, time, focus changes rapidly and with little to no connective tissue. Sentences are often long, convoluted, and clunky. I am, however, intrigued enough in the setting and characters to continue. Things will grow on me.
