I loved the cover of this book because it was simple but colorful, and very eye catching. Max Gladstone is also one of my favorite authors, so I was wondering how this collaboration would work out. The storyline so far is very engaging, although it is hard to tell much about the characters from reading a short part of the book. I would like to be able to read the rest of the book and see where the storyline goes. I guess that's a good writer for you, they always leave you wanting more.
