Review title: Slow at first
Product review: An excellent story. The book was vivid and interesting, but slow, for the first half of the book. It was full of alchemy, fantasy, magic, fictional yet coherent science and a Steampunky grime. I read it mostly on planes, and began to associate the vivid city description with the smell of the plane -- it was almost like stepping into the book itself every time I went airborne.The second half of the book changed pace quickly, and became exciting. The book creates an excellent realism to a fantasy world, creating a creature, science and housing diversity better than Star Wars. The author was not afraid to take risks, and the result was worth it.It's a good read, as long as you have the patience to return to the book during the chapters of the first half. Keep in mind that if you don't like what I just described, don't buy it; it won't appeal.
