The Monster of Elendhaven

This was right up my street. Very dark and haunting with a slight m/m bent. Johann grew up on the streets not knowing where he was from or who he was, named on a whim by a drunk sailor who immediately met his end after, but then he sees Florian and is drawn to the dandy in a way he doesn't understand. Murder, magic, plague, all in a very dark, viscerally described setting. I commend the author for getting so much story into so little pages (a mere 103 in my copy) but also left me wanting more.
The only problem I had is the last chapter (with John, similar origins to Johann) was very confusing as it was unclear if this was Johann or a completely new character and it also sounded like Sondenfell was actually London (very Jack the Ripper vibes when describing the murders).

Overall, it was a fun, quick read that's not going to be for everyone.
