![]() Emily Lloyd-Jones is extremely talented and a brilliant writer. It can be hard to stand out in fantasy, but despite incorporating a familiar fantasy trope - the heist - Lloyd-Jones’ story was original, witty and well-written. So many little details that truly transported me to the city. The detailed imagery made the world feel so REAL. The dialogue was excellent - the perfect balance between sounding natural but still effectively revealing information about the plot. The magic system as a whole makes perfect sense and is versatile enough to be different depending on each time it is used and whoever is using it. Every obstacle she encountered forced her to use her magic in a new and exciting way. ![]() Beautiful lyrical fairytale prose with an opening that gripped me tightly and did not let me go until the very end. ![]()
