(3.5+/5) 
 It's Ocean's Eleven meets Discworld. Fun characters, fun plot (which doesn't mean that it never gets serious), plenty of great moments and I loved the writing style. 
 One complaint: the "romances", who except for one are pretty unnecessary or entertaining, not even fully fleshed out and oh so disappointingly straight (come on, don't tell me Tern and the death priestess didn't have more potential). It's usually a case of "character A sets their eyes on character B in spite of a lack of meaningful interactions between them, and somehow character B reciprocates the feeling". I expected more from the man who gave us The Masked Empire. 
 Don't get me wrong, though: it didn't stop me from loving it, and I'm glad I got the whole trilogy so I can start on the next book straight away! Just hope it'll improve on that aspect.
