A review by celiapowell
City of Lies by Sam Hawke

4.0

This was a fantastic fantasy novel. Jovan and his sister Kalina are members of a family whose secret purpose is to protect the ruling family of the city in which they live from poison. Gradually everything falls apart around them - the pacing of this story was brilliant in the way that it lurches from things going from bad to worse in a way that just draws you deeper in to the story. Ends in a satisfactory way, but I would also love to read a sequel.
