Auszeichnungen
Amidst the gas lamp shadows former soldier-turned-mercenary John Vanguard hunts criminals at the behest of his corrupt employer, Captain Felix Sanquain. Shamed by his deserter past and seeking to make amends for his many misdeeds, a chance encounter with Tarryn Leersac – a skilled young would-be-assassin fallen from the graces of high society – leads Vanguard to become an unlikely mentor. Charged with hunting down the killer of two guards left washed up on the banks of the canal, the further Vanguard delves into the underbelly of the city the more he finds himself entangled in a web of secrets and lies.

On the other hand, she is a mediocre storyteller at best: this is a book without an arch-plot, or otherwise said a book of many side-quests, but lacking a proper main-quest.
Therefore a fascinating read, but never a captivating one: there is no good story to fill that great world and move those good characters towards something epic or at least very significant.
I also was very, very annoyed by the choice regarding the main antagonist (and his unjustified, heavy-handedly done and sudden turn-about at the middle of the story), but that might be a matter of taste - some reviewers liked it, some, like me, loathed it.
Still, I will read the next book in the series when I get it. ( )
