Description: The searching, surprising second volume of Hunt's Dynamicist Trilogy (after Dynamicist) finds the stakes higher, the pacing more assured, and Hunt's challenges to the orthodoxies of fantasy storytelling more provocative. The most memorable elements of the series remain Hunt's philosophical provocations and his vividly detailed magical system. It's a joy to see the characters dig into the study and theory of magic as well as the cultural consequences of its use. Engaging deeply with how heroes' actions affect the lives of everyone else, this sequel finds Robert discovering the complex truths about why his world fears change. This is an exciting, expansive, and ultimately satisfying exploration of the meaning of heroism, the economics of magic, and the role of innovation in society. - Booklife Reviews
