I loved this book! I felt that the author did a great job linking the investigation of the story to the main character’s past. This was a very interesting world and I found myself wanting to know more about where the Invisibles and the Amaranthines came from. Who originally discovered the power source for Kingston? I was surprised and impressed that the story came out so nicely for being such a quick read.

I got 40% of the way in and it still felt like I was reading the introduction. There wasn't enough to grab my attention or curiosity. It did have potential and I may try again in the future.

Would have like the reader of the audiobook to take a less constantly urgent tone. But it was engaging and I always like queer characters.

A delightful alternate world fantasy following a psychiatrist who works with fellow veterans dealing with the traumas of war. He and a mysterious stranger fall into a mystery when a man dies in his arms claiming he was murdered, and solving it may expose him to the family and secret society he’s in hiding from. This has a charming gay romantic subplot, and the ending has huge consequences for the this world that I’m looking forward to seeing explored in the sequels.
