Historia
Survival is never easy, but it’s never been harder for Grim, the last bounty hunter in Liwokin. He survived the Great Riot that killed Liwo by the thousands, endured the bloody chaos that ruled the city in its aftermath, and avoided the crushing fist of the Agency created to quell the unrest. The rule of law has returned, but following the rules doesn’t put food in your belly.

Terrific story and narrator

The plot of this book was wonderfully woven, giving information bit by bit in the way of a mystery novel, while never slowing down the pace of the action.
The story was small scale, involving mostly one city and the area around it, which made for a condensed and succinct story that was easy to digest and enjoy!
It started out dark, then shifted to sort of adventure/dnd vibes with a group of diverse fighters on a team: a mage, a paladin, a dwarf, a fighter, and a hunter/tracker. Then it shifted back to the dark vibes slowly for a wonderful crescendo at the arc.
The terminology of the book was fun and well thought out, with each of the five members of each team being called Fingers, and the teams themselves being called Hands, and every other part of the Agency having a similarly appropriate body name. It wasn’t spelled out, so it took a while to notice and appreciate the structure of the Agency, which seemed like a disorganized mess when first introduced. As the story went on it became apparent how intentional everything was.
The book had an exceptionally satisfying end, and all around it was cool to have everything tied together so neatly.
Other things to note: there was no romance, there was graphic violence, some horror vibes

Historia
They say Earth was a place of wonders where towers pierced the clouds, cities lit up the night, and flying machines streaked across the sky. It was magic. But the magic conjured the End War. Fire fell from the sky, and metal beasts leveled the cities. That was six hundred years ago. Now the ruins of the ancient world are buried or overgrown. And the technology of the past is feared as forbidden magic.

This was a fast paced and exciting read that really didn’t waste a sentence of prose the whole way through.
It is multi-PoV but the story is absolutely cohesive and the switches happen at the appropriate times and switch to the character best suited to the scene. There aren’t PoVs for characters are different continents, there’s just the one plotline and the perspectives of everyone in it as they travel together with the story.
I loved the father daughter relationship with Corvala and Exodus, and Exodus pretty quickly became my favorite character. But I also really enjoyed getting the villain PoV to add that extra dash of darkness and depth to the pot.
The worldbuilding was grounded and wonderful with the tech-explained magic of the past. Definitely recommend for those who enjoy efficient, fast paced prose and a mix of genres (postapoc, fantasy, sci-fi)!
