4.0

This is an entertaining read about a gang war in a fantasy setting with fairly limited magic. The plot starts a little slow, but builds to some tense, emotional moments by the end. The real strength of this book is in the characters, who are loveable even when they are awful people. I was heavily invested by the back half of the book.
