Pagans by James Alistair Henry
5.0
adventurous challenging dark funny mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Everything about this worked for me. The world building, the alternative history, the crime/ mystery / thriller aspect. Left me wanting more of this world!

Vaguely reminiscent of another 5 star favourite - the acts of the Assassins by Richard Bears
