City of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennett

5.0

A story of conquerors and conquered, of Divinities against technology, and the danger of burying the past in an effort to forget history.

City of Stairs is an enthralling read that begins with a simple murder thriller and quickly snowballs into something much more dramatic, based in a city mired in miracles and secrets. Characters are fallible but adored, even the minor ones with little pagetime, and ones sympathies are conflicted and confused throughout.
