This was a very atmospheric read! Very effortlessly gave the feeling of a dark fantasy-late 1800s city. Loved the carriages and the gas lamps and the cold. I really liked the mystery and the unsettling horror aspects with the ghouls and catacombs and dark magic.
It loses some points for only having 1.75 relevant female characters and also for being about 200 pages too long.
