The Tainted Cup

Oh this was good. This was very good. The characters were so vibrant and complex yet thoroughly explored. The author tells you enough about the world and the magic to get you hooked, but leaves you with so many unanswered questions. Not in a frustrating way, but more in a way that keeps you wanting more.

The case is complicated to the point where I didn’t figure it all out but we’re given enough clues that by the end I was left feeling a little clever for picking up on some things, while also being shocked by the big reveals. This was the first murder mystery I’ve read but in my unqualified opinion it was very well done.

I will absolutely pick up the next book in the series as soon as it’s released.
