This book started off strong -- I wanted to find out more about the backstory, what the Twenty Palaces were, how Ray became entangled with them, what Annalise's story, why the kids were being burnt into worms of smoke -- but kind of sagged when they got to town and had repetitive encounters with the locals. Similarly, I liked that Connolly created the opportunity for ethical questions to be raised, but then was disappointed that not much was done in regards to those issues.
Reasonably entertaining light read falling somewhere on the spectrum between [b:Midnight Riot|8680417|Midnight Riot (Peter Grant, #1)|Ben Aaronovitch|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1320484733s/8680417.jpg|13552476] and [b:Already Dead|21277|Already Dead (Joe Pitt, #1)|Charlie Huston|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1320468155s/21277.jpg|1154196], but not as good as either.
