• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

5.0

This was a very interesting book, I enjoy supernatural detective stories in general, and I immensely enjoy steampunk books. This was a perfect mix of magic and steampunk for me, and I listened to it in a single setting (yay fast speeds). Plus it’s set in Canada - a setting I rarely read, since most of those kind of books are either US- or UK-centric. Now I just need a whole series of Barrow and Skye adventures. 

The story makes me think of Dresden books - but with a better and more likeable main character!
