A solid start to a series that weaves magic, mystery, and murder plots together. The story bogs down a bit in the middle but picks up quickly in the end, setting up the next book quite well. The magic system in the world is not clearly explained or defined, but can be vaguely grasped and will likely be elaborated on in the following books.
