Ruth Long’s BOOK OF GOLD featured in Locus Deccember issue

“In its atmospheric Low Countries city setting and appealing team of misfits on a mission, The Book of Gold recollects Leigh Bardugos Six of Crows. Long’s characters are compelling, while her worldbuilding is fascinating and hints at so much more around the edges. Her prose is breezily readable, and the tension – both interpersonal and otherwise – mounts to a set of striking climaxes and a satisfying conclusion, even though precisely none of the heists go to plan.”
