The Queen of Stone by Keith Baker
4.0
I loved this book! It was formulaic and a quick read but the action and narrative were spot on. Think James Bond in a high fantasy setting, but with him as a female half-elf instead of a white male. Great characters. I loved that the "monsters" were treated as actual people and not a thin template based on species.
I think there could've been more to the story to make it longer and more fleshed out, but it is still a good read. Maybe the main character could've had less magical gadgets or had to be creative with the ones she had, but I gather this book was meant to highlight the potential of the Eberron campaign setting, and so more gadgets was the way to go.
I will definitely be reading the entire series, and it's even made me want to read the earlier Eberron trilogy by Keith Baker, The Dreaming Dark.
