I 100% see the comparison to Stalking Jack the Ripper in this book! It's definitely a read-a-like I would use. My favorite thing about this was probably the magic system. I loved that it was art based and it just felt so unique to me. Myra's journey with her own magic also helped in driving the story forward, and I appreciated the way she eventually came to accept it. It felt natural and realistic for the world and I loved every moment of it.

The driving mystery behind the story was also effective, even if I found pieces of the mystery a bit predictable. There was definitely an overall atmsophere of mystery, which also helped in adding to the world building and the overall atmosphere of the book. Also, unreleated, but lately I've been reading a lot of painting books and I really should get back into painting.

All in all, if you're looking for a new, twisty fantasy mystery, definitely check out this book!
