This was a spur-of-the-moment purchase (Smith was in the title - So I had to have it. I also, have an unfinished self-written book with Smith in the title too) I AM SO GLAD I BOUGHT IT! It was a fantastic read and kept me captivated throughout. The idea of bone smiths, iron-smiths, gold smiths and ghost-smiths was an entirely new premise for me and well worth the time. Now all I have to do is wait for the next in the series! This copy was bought in Forbidden Planet in Cambridge and signed by the Author!
