Witchmark was a pleasant surprise and this is, happily, is a great follow up. Though the previous is a bit more charming because there is an ‘everything is fine’ first quarter where it’s just Miles telling you about bike edict and old London things. This picks up right where the last left off, give or take, and so it is directly after the shit has hit the fan.

There is court intrigue and politics and sorcery and classism and more queer romance. It’s got great pacing and focuses on Mile’s sister this go around. There is a murder mystery element and a conspiracy. It’s all very much my jam. Will be checking out the next one too, once my library gets the audiobook.
