adventurous dark lighthearted mysterious relaxing medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

mmelibertine's review against another edition

5.0

Guh, I didn't want this book to end. I read and re-read the scenes in the Negative, a richly detailed and fully visualized world I'd love to read more of, and every time I saw something new. I love the approach to demons, and their truly otherworldly manifestations and appearances (and the lack of adherence to demons = always evil, others = always good). The story is lovely and well paced. The characters are fully formed humans, and even the most apparently vapid of them has unexpected depth. Seeing the supernatural treated as a scientifically explainable/accepted phenomenon was such a treat.

Teal deer? Love it. Get it, read it, ASAP.
