Goodreads beskrivning
Sancia Grado is a thief, and a damn good one.
And her latest target, a heavily guarded warehouse on Tevanne’s docks,
is nothing her unique abilities can’t handle.
But unbeknownst to her, Sancia’s been sent to steal an artifact of unimaginable power, an object that could revolutionize the magical technology known as scriving. The Merchant Houses who control this magic--the art of using coded commands to imbue everyday objects with sentience--have already used it to transform Tevanne into a vast, remorseless capitalist machine. But if they can unlock the artifact’s secrets, they will rewrite the world itself to suit their aims.
Now someone in those Houses wants Sancia dead, and the artifact for themselves. And in the city of Tevanne, there’s nobody with the power to stop them.
To have a chance at surviving—and at stopping the deadly transformation that’s under way—Sancia will have to marshal unlikely allies, learn to harness the artifact’s power for herself, and undergo her own transformation, one that will turn her into something she could never have imagined.

Mina åsikter
Den här boken hade en väldigt intressant världsuppbyggnad samt magisystem. Det var också kul att få ta del utav de olika magiska föremålen som tillförde mycket till magisystemet. Jag tyckte dock att det var lite mystiskt hur två karaktärer som under hela bokens gång inte alls visat något intresse för varandra till att helt plötsligt ställa sig och pussas. Det var väldigt weird och kom från ingenstans. Men överlag så var handlingen väldigt intressant och spännande.
