3.5

I did ultimately enjoy this book, but I was torn; I loved the middle bits—the acquiring of acquaintances, becoming a bizarre band of companions that humorously and amicably suit each other, and also the wicked but so fascinating tomb labyrinth—but was put off by the dystopian, miserable feelings of beginning and end. That said, I really like the author's writing style, so I think that while this wasn't my cup of tea, there may be a T. Kingfisher book out there for me...

3.5 out of 5 stars, ★★★☆☆
