Once again, I have Sword & Laser podcast and Good Reads group to thank for leading me to an entertaining book. I found the characters easy to like and they kept me interested in the story. I don't gravitate toward stories of supernatural beings,however, Cogman presents them in a matter-of-fact way that worked for me.

What I liked:
- The characters. While the rest of the world was fun and interesting, the characters kept me in the book
- Cogman's voice. The narrative flowed well and read naturally.
- Being able to identify as a lover of books and literature with references that feel natural rather than borrowing from another author's creation.

What I didn't like so much:
- The supernatural beings. Werewolves and vampires, specifically. That being said, these beings were treated in such a way as to not generate an hysteria based on fear of dark powers.
