Murder mystery but make it Fantasy! Equal parts intriguing and hilarious. I laughed, I gasped and I’ll never look at Tea the same way again. Oh and Ana & Kol are possibly the best detective duo to exist since Holmes & Watson!!
It’s been a while since I got excited about continuing a series 😄

I listened to this at 1,2x speed and still found it a bit slow paced at times, some parts definitely could have been shortened. That said, I really enjoyed it. It was an interesting crime story plot set in an interesting world building most of the times one lacks because of the others. It was masterfully done that there was no boring explanation of the world and I still understood most of it. The reading and voices were also very entertaining.
Would definitely read/ listen to a second one.
