4.5 stars.

Slow to start, but once the story picked up I didn't want to put the book down.

Intoxicating magic, compelling twists and turns, fallacies tucked into corners and dramatically exposed at the last minute. I cannot wait for the sequel.

If you love urban fantasies, complex relationships and intricate plots - then this is for you!
