Writing: 3.75⭐️/5 
The writing in this novel was solid, but not outstandingly strong. At times, sections fell flat and felt a bit typical, but overall it was a solidly written read.

Characters: 4⭐️/5
The characters were interesting and engaging. I enjoyed seeing the world through their eyes. Again, at times I felt Lobb leaned a bit too heavily on certain tropes.

Plot: 4.25⭐️/5 
I really enjoyed the world and how Lobb brought it to life. In turn, the plot really felt engaging and intriguing. I did really love how the fantasy elements mixed in with the murder mystery plot.

  • Fans of fantasy and mystery novels
  • Those okay with a Young Adult (~15+) read
  • Those looking for a quick read with an intriguing concept

Content Warnings?
