A review by coriandercake
City of Night by Michelle West
4.0
3.5ish (first 100 or so pages 2 but by end felt like a 5)
This book was a really slow start but it definitely picked up about halfway through. This is not a happy fantasy but it manages to avoid veering into the grimdark area, which I appreciate. West does an excellent job of really highlighting the stark difference (and distance) between the rich and poor, something that I feel a lot of fantasy authors struggle with.
