This one was a blast.
I was intrigued because of the world building, and a bit let down, when Schwab didn't deliver as much as I would have liked. The different Londons we're distinct but not totally fleshed out. Something was missing for me.
But this wasn't a huge bummer, because the characters kept me reading.
At first I was annoyed of Delilah's actions and Kell was stone wall I couldn't really connect to. But as the adventure went on I came to understand those two a lot more and loved their interactions and banter towards the end soo goddamn much.
But why only 3.5 stars?
Well, the story follows the Macguffin plotline - which isn't a death sentence by any means, but maybe a little predictable and dare I say: lazy?
But the last third got me hooked and I hope we'll learn more about the world's lore in the next one.
It's a fast and enjoyable read, so go for it - you have nothing to lose
