I definitely love the story, the setting of it, the characters and the lore.
Though the world is still unravelling before us, I love how the it is unveiled to us through the eyes of the characters, who if I must say are unique, and interesting too being comical and all gives the story a light feel.
It is an interesting read and I'll be keeping an eye out for morrrrrrr.

I'm still a newbie when it comes to writing a review, but I'm slowly becoming a fan of the book, so I decided to update my review.
First story: The good thing is that from the beginning the reader can understand that something big is happening in the dark depths of the government, it's not like many other novels where the first 50 chapters are about the MC without even mentioning the plot, that gives a good feeling that the author knows how the story will end and what the MCs have to do.
Characters: More or less your typical group of thieves, seems like there is nothing really special about them, at least that's how it feels, but are they? They survive and get to go through dangerous situations through wits, a bit of luck, and of course guts. Yet the characters are well written with different personalities and traits that make them interesting to follow, the interaction between them is equally fun to read. The characters feel alive and have a clear motivation when they act, the characters are one strong point in this book.
Style: Well, it's a bit different than many books out on RR, but it's good, interactive, and dynamic, especially the dialogues, some readers might get confused when reading the first chapter, it looks a bit messy, because we don't know who's speaking, but at the same time it's what makes it so good because we don't know the MCs yet, so it's like listening to a group of people at the market, it's confusing because you don't know them, but once you read more chapters you get to know the characters better and you can easily follow the dialogues, I actually started to enjoy this kind of interaction, unfortunately, many novels on RR are missing good dialogues, that's a reason this book hooked me.
Worldbuilding: God I love steampunk! And yey! here it is, a mix of fantasy and steampunk, the technologies that are shown in the story are well thought and used in it. The world is shown through the characters' eyes that makes it feel more real. You can feel t

In a couple words i would like to say that this is an interesting story for me. The narration and characters are very mesmerizing. Rarely enough inspiration comes to relax and read something, but this tale has very much interested me from the very beginning of the story. I wish the author not to lose skill in this writing craft.

The book is well written, my respect for the author of the story. I hope you can continue in the same spirit and please us with new chapters! I also want to note that the disclosure of the nature of the characters, the description of the terrain and the atmosphere, in general, is revealed perfectly and does not feel understated.

The description is often chillingly beautiful and very well done. I adore the combination of steampunk and magic elements.
Style: The third person POV was well used as it allowed for commentary and information on the world around the MCs however, there are some strange or overly wordy phrases that can make this difficult to read. Another issue is the over use of “said” and the lack of dialogue tags. Although this is intentional, it can be very off-putting, often leading to confusion or unclear characters.
Story: I like the story so far. The setting of a busy city in the centre of a Inquisition where you repeatedly find yourself cheering on the thieves is an unusual one but very good.
Grammar: No real grammatical errors apart from some over use of commas and some choppy sentences that would benefit from being combined.
Character: I liked most of the characters but, this may be in part to not reading very much, I wasn’t immediately endeared to them. Part of the issue here is the lack of dialogue tags, as said above. Sometimes it works well and can lead to snappy, quick dialogue but other times it leads to jumbled personalities. It was often not clear who was speaking which lead to confusion. I’d advise using more dialogue tags at first until the personalities become more clear before reducing it once the reader has a good idea of the characters.
This is an interesting world which the author weaves into the story very organically. It’s pretty good and with some small tweaks, I have no doubt that it can be very good!
