It's the first and greatest rule Inkwell Featherfield ever learned. It's also the only way he knows how to survive—besides picking pockets, dodging the law, and using every ounce of his plucky charm. But none of this will be enough to save him now. If only he'd never snooped around a dead man's house. If only he'd never found that pocket watch full of strange magic. If only he'd known the old man had snuffed it at the hands of the ghostly Spektors, or that such dark spirits even existed, because now they're after him.

Publisher's Summary
Framed for a crime he didn’t commit. Haunted by the ghosts of his past. Incarcerated in the most notorious prison in the Freeholds. Fate has mauled Mattias Temple, a failed cadre necromancer, leaving him with little hope.
Until a rogue military squad kidnaps the governor and threatens the city with a magical plague, giving him a shot to redeem a lifetime of mistakes and be the one thing he never thought possible: A hero.
As the body count rises Mattias finds himself neck-deep in trouble and drowning in ghosts. Outnumbered and outgunned, he has one choice left: Cut a bloody swathe through his enemies or die trying.
"A manic blend of insectile cyberpunk, necromancy, and vicious humor, Blackthorne crushes." (Michael R Fletcher, author of The Obsidian Path)

Great story. Flat narration.
Great story full of all the weird goodness I've come to expect from Clayton. Black Ops with necromancers, demons, and insectile technology? Keen.
The narration was a bit of a let down. They're the right person for the main character, but that's all you get. It felt like a Jarhead telling a story at you rather than becoming the story; no characterisations and their tone didn't capture the mood. At times the pacing was a problem too—there was some weird concepts being thrown around as part of the world building, and you need time to let that sink in to understand and appreciate it.
I'll hit this book up again, but next time it'll be a read for my eyeballs.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
