Since this is quite different from the books I usually read and enjoy, I find it quite different to rate. I don't gravitate towards fantasy novels set in our own world, but this isn't full of the tropes I expect from urban fantasy, instead all of the different aspects were fascinating and wild. I think I would love an adaptation of this: it's a true spectacle and the tropes I did recognice reminded me of some of the historical and science fiction TV shows, movies and games I like. The author throws a bunch of things at you and you gotta be along for the ride, not expecting the strongest character developement. They arent entirely shallow, though, and the writing is really engaging. It's a bit too fast paced for me but it was definetly an experience.
