Veritas is special. He’s a visionary, a necromancer-on-the-rise with scientific principals. But his latest experiment is failing, and he’ll need more help than his scuttling skull minion can provide. Perhaps the travelling tinker passing through town will prove useful — he can always use another pair of hands, after all …
The protagonist in this story is the most astonishing combination of "self-absorbed narcissist" and "actually wants to do the right thing." Somehow it works. Short and fascinating.
The characters in this story are flawed and yet charming, lovable despite being grouchy or oblivious or sarcastic or standoffish. I kept reading because I wanted to know whether or not they would achieve their goals. I am even still invested in what becomes of Larry. I MUST KNOW.
I found the plot serviceable but not as well-constructed or interesting as the people that populated the story.
