Why read it?

1 author picked A Market of Dreams and Destiny as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I’m a sucker for fantasy that explores class struggles and industrialization in a way that’s deeply tied into the story's fantastical world. A Market of Dreams and Destiny triumphs at this as the backdrop for a wonderfully human tale of ambition and love. Both the main characters are underdogs - one in magical society, one in a Victorian-ish mundane society. What a delight to root for the factory worker and slave to outwit the rich and powerful. I gobbled this book up in one day.
