League of Liars by Astrid Scholte
3.0
Love this plot line - we have a prison heist in a fantasy where shadow magic exists after the Regency has imprisoned both our main character Cayder’s best friend and the a princess. Using shadow magic is illegal because it’s dangerous and Calder is determined to make sure his sister is found innocent.
The mystery was unfolding so nicely and I loved the cast of characters and how they come to help. The villains were showing up to be quite fun in almost a dystopian way.
However … there nothing out there to indicate this book is the start of a series ad the book ends in the middle of the climax, as if setting up for another book except even then, it felt a bit unfinished. We don’t have closure on any of our open plot lines and mysteries to be found out. I was left disappointed when I read the last page.
*thank you a NetGalley and Penguin for this eArc*
