Titanium Noir by Nick Harkaway
4.5
adventurous mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Fantastic noir in plot and style, with tonnes of interesting concepts to chew over when thinking about Titans. I seem to be reading a bunch of books recently that feature different ideas around immortality. 
Only downside was the fight scenes, which seemed graphic, but I can't picture things, so a bit boring. 
You do have to be fully invested in the noir genre, though, as there's all sorts of witty back and forth dialogue that could seem _too_ smart if you aren't expecting it.
