The first half of the book is slow but moves at a better pace. I appreciate the complicated relationships and that there aren't easy resolutions to problems or differences. Relationship building is more subtle but sitting for the systems in the book. Honestly could have been give less build up and more time for the events in the second half. I am left wanting more story, another book would be welcome - especially if focused on what happens next with Lark and Azmar.

I just could not get up the feels to care. The main character was so bland and uninteresting.

The second the yearning and romance started, the story got extremely boring.

I'll read anything Charlie N. Holmberg writes. (I'm particularly fond of the Numina series.) The Hanging City is right up there with my favorites, loved it!
