I usually don't enjoy mysterys but this book did it for me! The pace was slower than I prefer, but it kicked up enough that it kept me on its hook.
The characters were fun, their motivations unique. The world building of the City of Sin is unlike anything I've seen before. The world felt so alive it was as if it was breathing off the page.

A very exciting book with an intriguing, diverse, and morally grey cast of characters. A unique take on a magic-based world that felt incredibly real. Can’t wait to dive into the sequel!
