The Masked City by Genevieve Cogman

3.0

I loved the world building in the first book, this one was less successful for me somehow. There is a great deal more action but I didn't feel as if I was able to catch on to the core of the story. Lots of events, lots of action and interaction but I didn't feel as if I knew "why" it was all happening. This is series that plays with the nature of narrative as a weapon and a force which might have set me up to look for some deeper resonances that didn't seem to be there.
