The Virtu by Sarah Monette

3.0

The worldbuilding and magic were good, and I enjoyed the action at the end and Felix's (sort of) character growth, at least in regard to his fears and his magic. The middle of the book lagged a bit. I don't understand why characters stay with Felix after all the frankly abusive ways he treats them. The one-sided incestuous feelings could be removed without changing anything about the book's characterizations or plot.
