A review by violentdelights
The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett

3.25

Not sure how I feel about this book honestly. I quite enjoyed the first half, but as the book went on it got more and more convoluted and it got harder to keep track of all the different elements. Saying that, there were some things that were very easy to predict, even for a novice mystery reader like myself. I think I ultimately had fun, but I might have to update this review as I parse through my thoughts.

I will say I enjoyed the characters, especially Ana. I also enjoyed the concept of special grafts to enhance one’s abilities, though the concept of the leviathans felt like a sort of boring backdrop - maybe not boring, but one that didn’t interest me.
