Saevus Corax leads a battlefield clean-up crew and is just trying to get by, when he somehow becomes extremely embroiled in heist attempts, kidnappings, and war.

The world is complex and interesting, and though few characters are likeable, they feel real. I know Corax would be the first to disagree, but I found him to be a charming protagonist, and enjoyed both his voice, and all his machinations.

I enjoyed the vast majority of this book quite a lot, and even though I thought it faltered somewhat at the end, I still immediately started the sequel.
