The Dawnhounds by Sascha Stronach
3.0
Something is changing in the City of Hainak, made of biomass and fungus. What is an ailing, addict cop to do?
A quick and fun read, this book introduces us to a world and magic system that are confusing and vast - many things are left open for future exploration. I didn't connect to our main character (I have problem with addicts in narrative, as well as overbearing heroes), but side characters were interesting and got their moments to shine. Injustices of the world were many, and sometimes they were not-so-subtly hammered home, but I like that "the bad" came from the system and the social norms, as it is in life.
