Very fun! I enjoyed the writing style and dialog. The magic setting contributes to the whodunit without being a true magic wand hand wave that explains everything at the end.
Aside from the whodunit, I’m really engaged by the characters and this world. Personalities come through crystal clear, even more so on the audiobook edition, where Andrew Fallaize jumps across genders, species, and walks of life in vivid color to make each voice instantly recognizable.
Already halfway through the second and looking forward to the third!

A fun read! Fit the bill nicely as a fast paced, eventful audiobook on a long drive. I likely won’t continue with the series, but I did enjoy the premise.
