Very fun worldbuilding and characters. I really enjoyed the setting (think a sort of fantasy Venice) and how fleshed out it felt. The characters all felt pretty three-dimensional with interesting motivations. I also enjoyed the way they and the world were expanded upon via the interludes at the end of each chapter, though I can see that slowing down the story in a bad way for other people.
Slightly more bloody than I thought going in, but not really a downside.
