A fun adventurous reading. Not as flourished and lyric and beautiful as "The invisible life of Addie LaRue", but this is a sort of thief/pirate/magic adventurous story with a fast pace. Hard to believe it's the same author. She manages to write differently and kudos to her for being able to do that.
She created several Londons, fun interesting characters, people we care about and others we don't. Story is an adventure non-stop through the different Londons and ir leaves our heroes with a door open to something dark thar might perhaps come out of Black London which we didn't get a chance to meet.
Main characters are fun and witty, honorable and skilled, and there is more to know about them and how they will relate in the future.
