Steamborn (Steamborn, #1)
By Eric R. AsherPublisher Description
Jacob, a tinker's apprentice and sometime thief, has lived his entire life in the mountain city of Ancora, protected by the city walls. These towering barriers keep the Deadlands creatures at bay, but the monsters move higher into the peaks every year. More and more, they breach the defenses of the Lowlands while the Highlands rest easy.
A swarm overruns the walls and wreaks utter devastation on the Lowlands. Charles, the old tinker, suspects the attack may not be natural. With help from Jacob's closest friend, Alice, and Samuel, one of the city's elite spider knights, Jacob and Charles will uncover a terrible darkness at the heart of their city.

“Don't read if you hate insects.
I preferred the first half to the second - but I'm not a big fan of action scenes (don't know why I love fantasy so much) as I enjoyed getting to know the city and it's history. It was very infodumpy at times which was a bit of a strain to read but not terrible. The characters were alright, some of the dialogue was a little odd, but I generally liked them (I found Jacob to be a bit holier then thou as he was constantly being praised for his oh so great deeds)
I'll read the rest of the series if I'm still interested after I finish my TBR.”
