Made Things

This is my first story by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It's a fantasy novella which blends magic, thievery, and homunculi into a fast paced tale with a few twists and turns. What's nice about novellas is that they get to the meat of the story pretty quickly. At just under two hundred pages, I didn't feel like any word was wasted. The prose is marvelous and yet is very tight. And the world-building is surprisingly robust. I have two full-sized novels of Tchaikovsky's in my TBR pile and now I'm looking forward to getting to them based on how much I enjoyed this book.
