I really enjoyed this novel. The details were all in place and the descriptions, dialogue, and characters were very well crafted. I appreciate and respect how the author was able to put a lot of descriptions into his people, places, and things without detracting from the story. I know from personal experience that doing so can be a challenge. Many other writers try to add details in the wrong places and they bog down the narrative or confuse the reader. I am happy to say this wasn't the case with Gaspar. The world that he created was very intricate, and the different guilds within it all served to broaden the depth of the world.This was a very fun read, and I can't recall a single error, which shows it was well-edited. Kudos for that! My only complain with this novel is minor: a lot of dialogue was in italics. I found that a little bit annoying after a while. Otherwise, I have nothing but good things to say about this inventive fantasy tale.
