This has glowing reviews but it was just another muddled fantasy murder mystery. The excessive worldbuilding overshadowed - to the extent of distracting from - the plot, so that when the denouement finally came it wasn't a revelation so much as a reinforcement of what had already been made clear. None of the characters were convincing or interesting and it wasn't particularly well written. Despite all this, it was readable enough and gets a few points for trying to be inclusive.
