The book was good then it got better.

This story is of a unique aesthetic. Steampunk meets carnival sideshow, meets classic southern hospitality. It’s hard to place for a reason. It’s unique world building is in a galaxy away but so familiar that you’ll find yourself trying to place it. Both nostalgic and imaginative.

The characters are every bit as developed as the world. Carthage and Huxley get on each others nerves and they both have secrets. I loved getting to know them.

Having read this before, I already knew this story was amazing. But then I heard the narrator speak in Carthage’s voice. He got the Scottish accent perfect. In fact he got every voice perfect. It was like listening to an audio drama. How one man can do so many voices will never ceases to amaze me.
