This was such a good mix of fantasy and murder mystery. There were a few moments that shocked me. By the end I had my suspicions of the killer which ended up being correct. Only reason it didn’t get 4 stars is because I felt like some moments were a bit anticlimactic. It would get intense and then things would resolve so quickly. Kinda made for lower stakes than I’d have liked.
