I'ts hard to review this book because it's amazing and it's difficult to find the word to review it as everything was really good.
At the beginning of the book it somehow reminded me of Terry Pratchett and his assassins. As I'm huge Pratchett fan this is big compliment from me.
But it was just the beginning and after some pages the book started to develop its own world and its own plot.
I would describe it as a fantasy mystery, a great fantasy and a great mystery at the same time.
The characters are likable and fleshed out, Amastan it's an unlikely and reluctant assassin that will evolve during the book as well as a good detective.
The world building is amazing and the descriptions leave you craving for more details.
The plot is fast paced, engaging and entertaining; I couldn't turn the page fast enough and I was hooked till the last page.
I look forward to reading other books in this series.
Highly recommended!
