Les Hurleuses by Adrien Tomas
4.5
adventurous mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

A nurse with a temper. An assassin with a conscience. A fish with a... Diving suit?
Adrien Tomas creates a panel of highly different characters, evolving in a complex and kaleidoscopic world full of unexpected magic, steampunk-like technologies and political intrigues. I was afraid it would be too much for me, and it almost was, but it was also so *fun* and the characters were so dashing that I flew through the book. 
Rep: passing mentions of queer characters made me think it was a queer-inclusive world, but it's not very present.
