This book is a masterclass on New York as a city. The metaphysical battles, the conceptual weapons and the inclusion of lovecraftian villains!? Incredible. 

Also extremely interesting that the Lovecraftian monsters would take the form of racism. Very Lovecraft of them. 

Out of all the characters, I ended up loving Bronca the most. I feel she does the most out of all the characters, and has the most attitude which I love. Her history is rich, and her relationship with Veneza is sweet. 

Aislyn is the most frustrating character ever. She is the pinnacle of passive white *conservative* feminism which isn't ACTUALLY feminism but rightful caution and misandry that is created when dealing with the WORST kinds of men; conservatives. But, that kind of white conservative woman "feminism" (misandry) does NOT translate to empathy OR intersectionality. She was INFURIATING! 

Can not wait to dig into the sequel, and I hope Aislyn gets her ass handed to her, the bitchy little TRAITOR.
