Additionally, I started out not caring for Gideon – I feel like the author simple gave me no reason to like her other than witty sarcasm (which I love, but doesn’t make for a compelling character on its own). Eventually, I was too drawn into the plot/mystery of the book to put it down just because I disliked the main character.
Overall, I’m glad I finished the book and have even started the second one, but I think the hype around this book is more than it deserves.

What an incredible book.
It’s witty, it’s dark, it’s bloody and I’m absolutely in love.
It was made even better with Moira Quirk lending voice to this dynamic story.
I will treasure this first read forever.

The worldbuilding was heavy and at times confusing, but the dialogue was engaging and refined and the fight scenes were cinematic.
