Foundryside, by Robert Jackson Bennett

4.5

This book was truly so fun to read. The characters were engaging and entertaining - Clef especially was a total show-stealer. The worldbuilding and magic system were very interesting and original, and it has a ton of potential for even more expansion in the next two installments, but it wasn’t so complex that I struggled to keep details straight, which is what I sometimes fear with fantasy novels. The plot was fast-paced and exciting, with many twists that caught me totally off guard (and, to be fair, some that I saw coming from a mile away). Maybe not a masterpiece, but a pretty well-written story and, overall, a very good time.
