Once a student of alchemy with the dark scholars of the Technic League, Alaeron fled their arcane order when his conscience got the better of him, taking with him a few strange devices of unknown function. Now in hiding in a distant city, he's happy to use his skills creating minor potions and wonders - at least until the back-alley rescue of an adventurer named Jaya lands him in trouble with a powerful crime lord. In order to keep their heads, Alaeron and Jaya must travel across wide seas and steaming jungles in search of a wrecked flying city and the magical artifacts that can buy their freedom. Yet the Technic League hasn't forgotten Alaeron's betrayal, and an assassin armed with alien weaponry is hot on their trail....

Great book in the Pathfinder tales series

This book serves more as a tour through Pathfinder's world of Golarion than as a proper story. Pratt does his best, and does introduce a couple interesting ideas, namely with the MC's artifacts. But overall, its obvious that there isn't much room for change, both in the setting's status quo and in the characters.
Unfortunately, the characters as they are weren't terribly engaging either. Alaeron is just a general sleeze, and aside from his one moment of heroism in the beginning, he does nothing of interest. Jaya is just a Girl, and serves as little more than a carrot to lead the plot along. I would applaud Skiver for representation, but introducing the one openly gay man in the novel as the least reputable cutthroat you've ever seen, and not even having the decency to actually make the cutthroat part fun, doesn't earn any marks.
Honestly, the book isn't terrible. I finished it. It was fine. But it's far from great.
Not a good standalone piece

rogues? check
villians and monsters? check
the heroes get thrown into a great quest that has them in seemingly over their heads. It has all the elements of the genre and does it well without trying to be the epic of the times.
excellent "Adventure" hitting all the tropes well
