This was totally different than what I was expecting. Moriarty is portrayed as this Robin Hood-esque vigilante aimed at making the world more just and equitable. You get the classic galaxy brain intelligence going on with Moriarty as expected from the character, but instead used on behalf of the people who need it rather than for personal gain. There is also a scathing critique of class and privilege in this book, which was thought-provoking and engaging. Definitely will continue with the series and I’m looking forward to learning more about the expanding cast.
