First book was a five for me, this book is a four. Still love the world, still love Ana, there is a new character who I enjoyed. Half a point off because one aspect of the mystery was very obvious to me. Half a point off because Din in this book has a bit of a change in personality that I don't think was entirely justified. Will I read the next one, absolutely.

An amazing sequel! i loved it even more than the first one and that's saying something given how many times i've read The Tainted Cup! a solid ten stars from me! a definite must read series for anyone who loves Sherlock style murder mysteries, unique worlds filled with dangers never before seen, and thrilling adventures. a solid 10 stars from me!

Exciting times! Just got approved for this on Netgalley. It's probably not my next up, because I have some other eARCs I want to get to soon, but I hope to read it before too long.

This is a fun fantasy mystery series. This is book 2. I would recommend starting with the first book.

A thrilling, fantastic, amazing continuation from the first book, with an even higher stakes case to be solved with an enemy smarter than even the illustrious Ana. the dangers are intense, the suspects are ever growing, and the body count is getting higher. I am already desperate for the next book, and this will absolutely be on my re-reads list!
