The italics killed me but otherwise a fascinating tale! Got a bit eye-roll-y at one part of very common trope. But, yeah, good read!

I used to read a lot of fantasy, but recently have been in a slump the past few years and this book got me out of it. This book was the perfect balance of fantasy, science fiction, spy adventure, and mystery. The plot hummed along, the characters were funny, and I loved the world building. This is a great book for lovers of “our world but different” fantasy. As well as those who like a little bit of mystery and thriller elements in their fantasy. Excited to read the sequel.
