Just got to the "do you think people are doing the best they can?" question.

Wow, this book. Wow.

"Focus attention and energy on making a difference in the lives of others, and success may follow as a by-product."

I'd rather die on an adventure than live standing still.

This book has hooked me right away. Love the concept of multiple Londons and someone who can travel through each (very unique) world.

This book was just a pile of awesome. It had engaging characters, a cool and unique magic system and a plot that kept me up past my bedtime many nights. The use of gun powder and the balance of magic adds to the plot rather than the other way around which is he mark of a really good system.
