Review 1 of 2: I'm only halfway through it but I had to post.
It's a joy to read Robin Sloan. He has "It": perfect plotting, delightful characters, 3-dimensional settings and descriptions, incredible wit and humor, and - for me the most important - a voice, an attitude, a way of being in the world that could be cynical but chooses not to be.
Sloan's metaphors are amazing. We all try to think up great metaphors, but Sloan's read smooth and easy, and at the same time surprise you to the point of having to re-read them just to experience their high again!
Will post more in a few days.

Loved it, voted for it for the Goodreads awards, am recommending it to all my friends. It was absolutely delightful, brilliantly crafted, and totally inspired.
