This one for me was equally intriguing and boring. It is a cool and interesting time period to read about, I enjoyed the hotel scenes, simply for the culture. 

I think I liked the magic? It made sense in the beginning but by the time I read the final climax scene,  I was confused. I think it was a mix of being too intricate and not explained enough. 

The characters were ok, I think the most interesting one was Hypnos who was a side character. The heist/thievery was interesting, but if it contained too much magic, I got a little lost. 

I do encourage readers to make sure they read the authors note….”history is a myth shaped by the tongues of conquerers
