Do not read the blurb if this book as it has a major spoiler for the first 100 pages This is a fantasy crime.
Very good. I'm actually tempted to say this is the best Sarah J Mass start to a series and at the level of Kingdom of Ash maybe better. I heard a lot of complaints that people were struggling for the first 200 pages however I didn't have that problem. I thought it was a strong compelling start. I think what maybe is a shock for people is that this is a different genre to other sjm books veering towards crime and coming from a futuresque world. I found the mystery aspect engaging and very much enjoyed and flew through this book. Starting the next one now.
