Interesting. Well plotted. A bit dense in parts, and one or two scene-setting passages read like entries from Wikipedia, but there’s intrigue, humour, and enough different threads to knit another book. If you like London, history, and mythology, it may be fir you. I know I’ll deffo be looking for more.
