Excellent. This is the third novel in a wonderful police procedural fantasy series. This one's all about dogs and bad magic and it's fascinating. The writing, characters, world-building, love story, and mystery plot are all really excellent. Like all the other books in the series, this is full of subtlety and depth and detail and really takes its time to tell the story fully, and it's a great reading experience and something to savour. I suppose this could stand alone as a mystery, but to get the full picture of Astreiant and its culture and to really appreciate the adorable subtleties of Nico and Philip's delightfully understated relationship, I definitely recommend starting at the beginning (the excellent [b:Point of Hopes|836592|Point of Hopes (Astreiant, #1)|Melissa Scott|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1336165029s/836592.jpg|2136966]) so you don't miss out. I do believe a new Astreiant book is in the works, so I'm looking forward to that immensely.
