The Mask of Mirrors by M.A. Carrick

adventurous challenging dark mysterious slow-paced

4.0

Age at time of reading: 37

I'm going to be generous with the 4 stars I'm giving this one, only because the final 1/3 really held me in. I was so close to DNF, which is something I never do (hard FOMO of what if the book gets good, and so many people loved it). It was a painfully slow start and took forever to get any exciting plot points moving. I called some of the twists (including the major who's who) VERY early on. I am still going to give it the higher rating for the unique magic/world, found family, street rats and con jobs.
