Itās Avatar the Last Airbender but make it Victorian & instead of mastering the elements you burn metals to manipulate your surroundings. Also with a few āavatarsā instead on one.
I also think the story is very similar in tone & characters to Six of Crowd by Leigh Bardugo. But it read a little more mature to me, while Six of Crows felt more YA. But I think if you enjoyed one youād enjoy the other.
The world & magic system are so well thought out. Every time I thought I found a loophole it was explained away soon after as if the author was reading my mind!
This book honestly felt like a stand alone. But I am still eager to pick up the next in the series!

Opening the book on a plantation with skaa/slaves didnāt really help.
ETA: I decided to finish the book. I got into it about halfway through. Overall, itās mid. I found myself irritated by the magic system and wanted to know more about the culture and the city and the crew.
