Read this not realising it’s the first book in a trilogy so was a bit stunned at the abrupt ending. 

The author does a lovely job of a creating a beautiful depiction of magic and a magical world different from the likes of Harry Potter but just as immersive and enticing. 

There’s a few mysterious at the centre of the plot and I wish there’d been more time to carefully unravel all the threads, the last few chapters felt rushed and for a 500 page book there was time. 

Be interesting to see what happens with the serious. There’s now a novella on one of the supporting characters, who I liked a lot but found her a bit cliche in character.

It took me a while to actually get into this book. The beginning is quite slow, maybe a tad too slow for me to get hooked straight away. I was interested in the concept though so I kept picking it back up. Once i was past the first 100 or so pages I struggled to put the book down. Once it had it's fingers on my it wouldn't let me go. The author paints London in a way I myself have experience and it's a beautiful homage to the little spark of magic you can find at every corner in this beautiful city.

The very open ending had me wanting more. The author found an incredible way of resolving the key issues of the story while simultaneously introducing new threads I'm sure we all would keenly follow.
