Silver Queendom
Silver Queendom | Dan Koboldt
1 post | 2 read | 1 to read
When you owe money to the biggest criminal in town you are going to need to step up your thieving game a notch… --- Service at the Red Rooster Inn isn’t what you’d call "good," or even "adequate." Darin would be the first to say so, and he owns the place. Evie isn’t much of a barmaid; Kat’s home-brewed ale seems to grow less palatable with each new batch; and Seraphina’s service at the bar leaves much to be desired. As for the bouncer, Big Tom, well, everyone learns right quick to stay on his good side. They may be bad at running an inn, but they’re the best team of con artists in the Old Queendom. When a prospective client approaches Darin with a high-paying job, he knows he should refuse. But the job is boosting a shipment of priceless imperial dream wine, the most coveted and expensive drink in the world. And, thanks to a stretch of bad luck, he's in deep to The Dame, who oversees criminal enterprises in this part of the Queendom. If they fail, they’re as good as dead, but if they succeed… well, it’s enough money to get square with the Dame and make all of their dreams come true. Plus, it's an option for Darin to stick it to the empress, who he has good reason to despise. Then again, there’s a very good reason no one has ever stolen imperial dream wine...

Mehso-so

A series of heists! A charming leader and crew! Little orphan boys! It's got what I would expect to like and yet somehow didn't do it for me. It wasn't bad, as much as it felt like a lot of book for less than I would've expected. There are interesting hints of rich world that we only get snippets of. Same with character building and backstory. I would've liked it far more if it was half the size.
