One day I am gonna stop gushing about Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett - but today is not that day.
If I didn't have parenting duties this would have been a binge book that I finished in a day.
I think the slow burn is better for this book because while the material itself is light fantasy fare, the actual *way* the book is written, the clever call backs, the way Bennett world builds is just superb.
