Thief's Magic
Thief's Magic | Trudi Canavan
FORGET WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT THE NATURE OF MAGIC. In a world where an industrial revolution is powered by magic, Tyen, a student of archaeology, unearths a sentient book called Vella. Once a young sorcerer-bookbinder, Vella was transformed into a useful tool by one of the greatest sorcerers of history. Since then she has been collecting information, including a vital clue to the disaster Tyen's world faces. Elsewhere, in an land ruled by the priests, Rielle the dyer's daughter has been taught that to use magic is to steal from the Angels. Yet she knows she has a talent for it, and that there is a corrupter in the city willing to teach her how to use it -- should she dare to risk the Angels' wrath. But not everything is as Tyen and Rielle have been raised to believe. Not the nature of magic, nor the laws of their lands... and not even the people they trust. AN EPIC NEW FANTASY ADVENTURE BEGINS.

Mehso-so

Tyen‘s world is vaguely steam-punkish. Rielle‘s world is more fantasy based. This book is basically two separate, non-connected stories and ends in a double cliffhanger. Neither story concludes, neither character completes a quest, both are forced into action by others and have no real agency over themselves. That said, Canavan is good at world building. However, not reading three more books to find out what happens next.
