The latest Astreaint book & like all the Astreaint books it's great. Vivdly drawn city that does not exist and well-crafted characters with a mystery plot to help it all keep moving along. Seriously, this series is great & you should read it.
An excellent continuation of one of my all-time favourite fantasy series. Scott’s (and, in earlier works, the late Lisa A Barnett’s) Astreiant is one of the most vivid cities that does not exist in fiction. In this latest instalment, the fantastic work on setting and character continues, and the mystery plot in this one a little more action forward and tension-inducing than usual. And Philip and Nico continue to be one of the few same-sex couples in SFF that you could pull out of the book, dust off and adjust to a modern context, and be completely believable as working adults who love each other. Great stuff, and I'll continue reading this series as long as Scott cares to write it.
