4.0

I think this novella was a great look into what makes someone monstrous or good, and wether it is their nature, upbringing or something else. 

It’s a murder mystery set in a gritty world that centers on mining the remains of a fallen angel, and the world is split between the descendants of angels and demons. 

No one in this story is truly good here, but the divide of Elect versus Fallen makes some worse than others. 

 honestly set expectations aside for who the characters are and what they’ll do/what they have done.
Spoiler Very unreliable narrator.
