A Drop of Corruption

For more of my reviews, check out my blog.

Thank you to Del Ray for providing me with an eARC.

I love, love, loved the first book in this series, The Tainted Cup. It was wildly original, super well written, and just a blast of fun to read. I can honestly say the same thing about A Drop of Corruption. The world-building in this series is immense, but so well done that you really don't think about it too much. You take in what you need to know at just the right pace, and aren't left floating about in confusion. The Leviathans in question don't appear alive in this book, but their shadow and threat still covers the world and plot.

Ana and Din are fabulous main characters, and the reveal at the end about who (and what) Ana really is was SO well done. It paid off, and I am now anxiously awaiting the next entry in this series. I hope this one is longer than a trilogy, because the way that these books are written means that this could be a nice lengthy series if Bennett so chose. Feels almost like a fantasy Sherlock Holmes sort of deal.

I spent the whole book thinking I had the mystery figured out, but I was entirely wrong. Of course. I'm not that intelligent. BUT STILL. So enjoyable, and I can't recommend this one enough. Easily five stars!
