In this book the author introduces an attractive main character, Octavia and a well-constructed steampunk fantasy joined with some magic and political scheme. The book is a well-written murder-mystery story. It entangles spies from the eastern part of the country, spies, who were sent by the queen, a princess, who was thought to be lost, and the main character, Octavia, who realizes that she's not just a simple magical healer. What I really liked is that there's an adventurious fight combining science, magic and religion in the story, also there is a strong need for social justice and overwhelming change. The story also reveals the poisonous leadership, the colourful variety of humankind and the mysterious adventures through a progressive, well-constructed steampunk world. Yummy
