I bought this book on the recommendation of Slowly Red on YouTube. He had it in his Grimdark Reading Guide video.
I have to say, it didn’t feel like true Grimdark to me.
It is a dark fantasy with a focus on characters over magic. Back alley business over royal politics. And gang warfare over epic battles.
Slowly Red likened it to Peaky Blinders, but with magic and I think if a dark, low fantasy version of Peaky Blinders sounds appealing to you, you won’t be disappointed by this book.
