I went into this not knowing what to expect, and I was pleasantly surprised. The story features an interesting fantasy world, and an intriguing, complex, and well-executed mystery plot. I was completely engaged the entire time I was reading, and there were also a few unexpected twists that kept me invested in the story.
I enjoyed the two protagonists, Ana and Din, and their Sherlock/Watson-style relationship. However, I would have liked to learn a little more about them and feel more emotionally connected to them—not just as detectives working on the case. But I think that will come as I read more books in the series.
