I liked this book! I know there are lots of complaints about the pretentiousness of the characters but I feel like that was kind of the point! I enjoyed reading about how different class levels shaped different characters lives and personalities . Was it a little bit ~too~ self aware at times? Definitely, but none of the above took anything away from the book for me. It was fun to have so many different POVs even for a short time, and the mystery was exciting all the way through and I was fully surprised. I liked the detective’s character as well and will be reading the second.

A book trying to do too much and ultimately doing none of it well. Also, the audiobook added to this poor review as it was about difficult to follow and to understand the narrator for Caius. Will perhaps reread the physical version and revisit this review.
