This was a good story! I really liked the setting and the world building. I would love to see more of Alex Stern and the Houses.
Unfortunately, it did have some problems. For starters, the writing, specially in the beginning, is filled with references and information that made it hard to read. My mind kept wandering and I had to reread a few passages. But also, towards the end, when we’re supposed to be having this high stakes situation, it didn’t really feel like that and ended up being a bit of a let down. I also didn’t like how it all conveniently just “rich people will keep it down” their problems away.
The story is still pretty good. The dark setting was nice and consistent throughout. And the mystery was pretty decent, as well.
