City of Lies by Sam Hawke
3.0
This book had great potential. I loved the world building and the plot, but man, the pacing was just too slow for me. I actually put this down for... a month and a half? It just didn't grip me and keep me going, and finishing it was more a determination thing, although thankfully, the pacing started to pick up.
The biggest problem was just not connecting to either of the character POVs. While brother and sister, they actually seemed like the same character, and I had difficulty telling which character's head I was in. I get in the end why there needed to be two characters, but I definitely think they needed more fleshing out to be distinctive people.
