A review by crimsoncor
The City Stained Red by Sam Sykes

4.0

Came to this with high expectations based on Sam's online persona and it was 'aight. The occasional humorous leavening of the grimdark story works pretty well in the first book in the series and while none of the characters are exactly huggable (except Kataria. shicts forever) it is enjoyable while you get to know them. I don't think the series maintains this momentum through the next two books, though.
