I love this world and I really like Fetch for a main character, through whose eyes we get to see this world, but this story felt much more scattered than The Last Smile in Sunder City - with a series of small fragments scattered into the larger story (but, like, front-loaded), and even though they do end up being important, it made it harder to get into the story in the beginning.

I will say that Fetch's growth and the choices he has to make as a human surrounded by formerly-magical beings and newly-industrial humans who are standing at odds... It made you think and it showed a lot of potential for even more growth. He's definitely no longer the drunk PI that we met at the beginning of Smile.

So... Book three coming soon?
