We Men of Ash and Shadow by H.L. Tinsley

DNF
This was a tough one for me to stop but I had to. It had everything I wanted. It was practically Sin City meets Assassin's Creed with a few dystopian themes running in it. The story is about a hardened assassin who uncovers a mystery that could unravel this gaslight city. The writing and descriptions are done very well and I could envision myself there.
However, the main flaw is that every chapter is filled with giant info dumps. There would be pages upon pages of description with little dialogue in between. It's the true highlight of "show don't tell' except there was nothing but telling in this book. I may give this another try but I can't finish this at the moment.
