I really enjoyed it!! A bright spot was the worldbuilding for sure - even the languages seemed well-fleshed out and understandable. The characters were fun to follow and the magic system was very interesting. A good read!

A lovely romp through multiple Londons, similar to, but not the same as, Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. Super exciting and felt like a very well done HBO mini series in the best way possible :)
Planning on reading the sequels at some point!

a cool introduction to this world! i really loved the magic system, but felt like the characters weren't quite fleshed out enough for me to care about them
