**I have a BookTube channel if you would like to hear more of my thoughts on books!**

This is one of my favorite books so far this year, and definitely my favorite book by the author!

Everything about this book was delightful. From Ana and Din's homes/Watson dynamic to the fantastic world building I was invested right from the beginning.

I think if you love mysteries this might be a hit for you - it's definitely more mystery than fantasy, although the world building was great too.

I loved, American Elsewhere, and so I had very high hopes for this book. I think after an initial slow start it met my expectations. It was quite different and I enjoyed reading it.

A fascinating fantasy with a Holmes/Watson-style detective duo. Rich worldbuilding.
