" I definitely liked this book. There's a lot to it. Historical fantasy with a devil-at-the-crossroads at its heart, some hints of the American Jack tales, and just the tiniest bit of steampunk. However it wasn't a fast read. It took awhile before it really grabbed my attention, but the ending was very creepy and exciting, and maybe even a little too fast-paced. I felt that it was over just as I was getting into it. It definitely made me interested in reading the prequel, The Broken Lands. And I think for the right reader, one familiar with all these kinds of stories, it's a great read. "
