Amazing as per usual with this series. Every book it gets better and better. The twist at the end of this one was painful though.

Like the previous books in this series, the main plot is confusing and difficult to understand. However, characterization is solid and I simply adore Nightingale, much more so when I have the opportunity to see him in action! Peter still retains his humor and Leslie, oh my dear Leslie! I just can't believe Aaronovitch ends the book right then and there! I demand the next book RIGHT NOW!

I am continuing to like these books. There was nothing like super amazing yet but they are just thoroughly enjoyable.

I had a little bit of a harder time getting into this one probably because there wasn't a terribly exciting hook in the beginning and I also thought the humor did not quite land as much as in the last book.

Turns out though that this was probably more of a setup book because we got lots of development towards the overaching plot which was very compelling and also again some nice bits of worldbuilding tied in to European history.

I especially thought that the ending was very exciting and we got a plot twist that I did not see coming.
