Low Town by Daniel Polansky
4.0
A lot fantasy novels can take you visually aesthetic landscapes with dragons and wizards in the background. And some can take you to the grime, gore and dirt of the battlefield. But with Low Town, for me personally being from the Baltimore area, I was transported to an altered Greenmount, Lexington Market, and Charles street. This book definitely had the grime of the city through its pages in a way in which was unique. Far from distracting me from the book, this made me want to read it that much more.
It was a really good read with fully fledged out characters. Dark and flawed like their surroundings, the characters try their best to survive in the rough city. Even the magical system that Polansky brought to life seemed to have it flaws.
