The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett
4.0
This was an entertaining murder mystery set within a fantasy world- a book I think both mystery and fantasy readers will enjoy!
The characters are well developed and delightful. They all have their quirks, particularly our main characters Din and Anna that are investigating several murders by via a highly unusual method. The murder mysteries are the main story line and we catch glimmers of the fantasy/sci-fi world as the plot unfolds and different characters abilities are revealed (e.g., augmented humans, leviathan monsters, augmented environment, different class rankings).
While this book was enjoyable, I initially had a difficult time keeping everyone straight and I was sometimes able to figure out some of the plot twists. Nevertheless I highly recommend this book! I am looking forward to seeing Anna and Din’s future adventures in the series.
