I wanted more about the mystical bird worshipping people, less about minors being sexually abused.
A multi layered trip into Elizabethan London , with hints of Gaiman fantasy. It starts with no real rush but the characters will unfold.
I loved the prose of the book, the way the narrator sees London and the characters. They were beautiful and real.
But the ending was rushed, it wasn’t really an ending, 3/4 of the book has more action be the rest and it ends with more questions than answers.
Coming from a prose that resembles poetry for most of the book, that captures your attention to end fast, without description in a rush way was a disservice to the story and the characters in it.
