I really enjoyed 'A Smuggler's Path' from both a worldbuilding and character driven point of view. The world was fascinating, and I loved how inbuilt magic was in everything and the conflict that caused, and I was left wanting to know more. For the characters there were a few places where I feel development was a little lacking, but I absolutely adored the main protagonist Inez - she was strong, and independent, and yet we experienced her struggles, the choices she was torn between. Would highly recommend this book.
