Such a confusion of plotlines that it's basically fantasy Pulp Fiction but if you can get past that it's an extremely well written dark fantasy (read the first books first, though, or you'll be confused). Also, Leo Bonhart is one of the most compelling evil bastards in literature.

Fractured narrative from multiple perspectives (eg kenna to coroner). It helpfully disorients the reader and grasp at what they can to follow the present action.
