The other thing I feel like I should mention before I continue on too far is the fact that this book contained some of the most impressive, subtle world building I’ve run across in a book.

That being said, it didn’t take me long at all to see that this book was something special. It’s a lot of fun, and very well done, but I’m still a little worn out from the surge of thief focused stories years ago.
The protagonist is a thief, and the book is focused on the various antics of that sort of lifestyle.

So when he got himself hacked up in front of his house off Silk Street, I decided somebody had to be made to pay.
“They butchered Corbin right out in the street.
