 A delicious cocktail with hints of Steifvater’s Raven Boys and Bardago’s Grishaverse. There is just SO much going on here to explain it well. There is a little information dumping in the beginning, but the world and magic is extremely complex. Pay attention. The cards are important. Thank goodness for the glossary at the back.

Don't let Alexi and Kasia fool you. The story in the undercurrent is the riptide that will steal your breath away.

For those who like their fantasy neat, no chaser.
