5.0
Like The Garden of Evening Mists, I feel right into a comfy familiarity with the prose, and I was transported back to the streets of Georgetown which I know and love so much.
The pace flows beautifully, like the fall of rain down a window, and even though there is a clear difference between the first and second half, it didn’t feel too jarring. You end up going on a rollercoaster of emotions, but the shift is gradual as much as it is devastating within the story.
Highly recommend!
