I got this book for free, but I'd say it's worth the $0.99 even though it's so short. From the beginning, the worldbuilding and writing style pulled me in. The characters were all distinctive & interesting, and the way the story was revealed kept me engaged to the end. I'll definitely be checking out this author's other books.My only complaint was the total lack of female characters. The only woman mentioned was already dead (check out the "refrigerator woman" trope to see how common this is). The son could have been a daughter instead. "Juice" could have been a woman, or what about the rival artificer? I really hope this author's other books are more balanced.
