5.0

Man, I love this book. This is such a good mystery and such a cool way to expand the demi-monde and bring in more complications to the intersection between magic and mundane policing. I love how much we get to see of the core characters, and how apprenticeship is becoming more formalised now that Lesley has joined up. I had a great time reading this.

2023 reread: So many threads are coming togehter here, and there are so many hints towards the future as well, if you know where to look for them.

2024 reread: Always fun.
