4.5 stars.

I finished this in 24 hours.

I absolutely loved The Green Bone Saga Trilogy which is why I cannot fathom why it took me so much time to get to this but nevertheless reading this novella and entering back into the world that Fonda Lee has created made me realize how City of Janloon is one of my absolute favorite settings in the fantasy genre.

The storyline itself was quite engaging here and it gave a different perspective to both the clans from a normal citizens point of view. Not to mention how I loved the cameos from the Kaul family (Hiloo !!).

I am not very big on novellas but I think this might be my second favorite novellas I have ever read with the first being 'The Exile' by Ryan Cahill.

Really recommend reading this to everyone <3
