Second in a fantasy series about a clairvoyant mob syndicate in future dystopian London. This book somehow feels action-packed but still reads slower than molasses left out in a snowstorm. This book started so slow, the middle third is basically the same thing several times over, but the last 120 pages saves it. I still enjoy the magic system in this series with ambitious worldbuilding, but I wanted to get more attached to the characters than I did. I found like I enjoyed the development of several of the side characters, including the Seven Seals, more than I did the main character, Paige.

I still don’t understand the point of the romance subplot with Warden and it’s still a little weird, though less Stockholm-y/hot for teacher vibes than the last book. No surprise that Jaxon is a selfish, traitorous asshole, to the very last line.
