Super unique noir murder mystery set in a mystical city with elves, draconids, mermaids, humans, and more. I want more more more about the history of this place and this city and how it came to be. But this was a GREAT opener to this world because Thompson doesn’t spend time forcing world building on you - she just tells the story and lets you pick up details along the way. I really enjoyed it and can’t wait for volume 2.
