A really great high fantasy murder mystery with serial killers by the way. or a lot of the twist and turns I would also say it kind of leans a little bit into thrillers. I'm a bit sad there wasn't more romance because there was some hints of it but I also think because there's a sequel will get more of that then. I really like the idea of the needles being weapons as well as the five different gods. oh also cults . I think it gives a really great intight to how the government can take beautiful things and ruin them and talk about class poverty and some of the struggles that come with that.
Spoiler
it had a really emotional ending and I wasn't expecting De Lia to die .lyrrael's review against another edition

A fantasy city watch tries to discover the murderous artist behind the exquisite corpses appearing on city streets. Also there are death masks that gift you knowledge.

To try again in future maybe, plot had not yet hooked me by 91 pages, but I enjoyed the worldbuilding.
