Fantastic world-building and character development. Lee’s writing was easy to read; I didn’t feel lost or confused as some initial novels of a fantasy series. 

I think I held too high expectations. I didn’t find the story as thrilling and shocking as others. I’m not itching to continue the series - maybe I’m just not that interested in urban fantasy/mobs?
