A Drop of Corruption
by Robert Jackson Bennett

Wow, the plot thickens! I adored the first book in the series, The Tainted Cup. A Drop of Corruption was highly anticipated, and it lived up to expectations.
Ana and Din are such a great duo, and how they work together is satisfying. Din is her eyes and goes to the man. He is the one that does a lot of the grunt work, but he’s also brilliant. He’s starting to come out of his shell more and put his skills to good use. I love their banter and how Din is still so unsure. We learn much more about both of them and see them grow. I loved discovering more about Ana, even if it’s just a glimpse. Her character is hilarious, and I love how she does not care what people think. I liked seeing that they did other cases and have moved around a bit over the years. It wasn’t just jumping from the previous book to this one. Ana is brilliant and always two steps ahead, but she does get stumped in this one. It made her seem a bit more normal and not so robotic, in a way. Her relationship with Din is so lovely. She can be brutally honest and pushy. I love how she let him figure things out on his own.
The women in this book are phenomenal! Robert Jackson Bennett did a fabulous job with all the women he wrote about in this book. I loved them all, even if they were morally grey at times. We got a new character that I adored in this book. I am trying so hard to stay spoiler-free, but it’s so hard with sequels. There were so many twists and turns that you read 20% of the book and don’t even realize it! I was stumped a few times! I am good at figuring things out. The brilliance reminds me a lot of Sherlock Holmes. I love a quirky and brilliant character. We delve much deeper into other parts of the Empire and Leviathans. There is so much room to make a decent series out of this if he chooses. PLEASE choose this option. I cannot wait to jump back into the next one.
I love this series, and it’s addicting. The writing and characters are brilliant. I highly recommend it. I don’t know what else to say except that you should pick these books up because they are amazing!
Thank you, Del Rey and Netgalley, for the e-arc. All thoughts and opinions are my own!
