You know from the back cover that you're getting an "accident on a train + magic" story with Death on the Caldera. What you don't realize is the depth of the world you're about to be immersed in, and the masterful way that Paxman makes that world feel lived-in and real without dragging you down in the way that an epic fantasy would. Add to that an ensemble with a series of overlapping interests and perspectives, challenging each other at different turns, and you have an incredible page-turner.
