I didn't really care for this one, I feel like the start wasn't the best and instead of being mysterious it just left me confused in some parts with how it was written. I think the idea was good it just wasn't executed well in my personal opinion.

lizziaha's review against another edition

Late-stage worldbuilding usually does not work for me, but Tamsyn Muir always manages to pull it off so sickeningly. The moment of all the pieces clicking into place is truly horrific every time.

Ok this is good! This is my second favorite in the series so far! Amy Starr is an undercover cop infiltrating a crime ring in a dystopian world. This novella is chalk full of character, gore, surprises, and world building. Muir packs a punch in less than 60 pages. Although it falls a little short character development wise and leaves a little confusion about the world/environment (when/where/how etc.) the content we are given is creative and engaging. Definitely a solid 60 page read!
