This story sets in motion the particular world of T Kingfisher that I have fallen deeply in love with. This book felt a little incomplete in its scope, which will surely be rectified in the sequel, but I was hoping for a more satisfying ending.

The characters a likable and flawed in very relatable ways. It has the classic T Kingfisher characterization of wit and the heroine being pretty normal which is lovely. The world building and character development is not quite as good as her later books, but does  enough to still carry the story and make it compelling.
