This book was beautiful, the worldbuilding was excellent, the characters were multi-dimensional, their problems and responses were believable, and Clark explored social issues with nuance. I loved so much of this book!

The story began a little slow for me because I'm not into mysteries, but by the second half I was having a hard time putting it down as the pacing built more and more.

Wowwwwww. Now this guy can write women, and let them be powerful ass lesbians at the same time!!! This took me forever to read, but it was worth it. The mystery, the characters, the world, having romance as a side-plot, all made for a truly wonderful read. Also I’m very much in love with Siti 🤭 she has CLAWS COME ON
