![]() Moreover, Towsey managed to write up a standalone that delivers enough worldbuilding to give the reader a solid sense of this complex way of life that is led in parallel between day and night in an alternate 18 th century, but not so overwhelmingly that it would weigh the overall novel down. It is a clever way to pull in the reader as they try to make sense of the clues and events but also attempt to differentiate between what is real and/or imagined or perhaps even bewitched. Essentially, Towsey created a supernatural/paranormal mystery you dig even though you’re a bit confused as to what is actually going on sometimes. Of every answer actually leading to more questions. In fact, while I was always eager to continue, I felt no rush to do so either, savoring instead the ambience and pattern of nothing being quite as it appears. Talk about a right mix huh? Which is probably also why this was the kind of story that unfolds slowly, and you take your time to read. Towsey has created a deeply atmospheric and captivating book that brought together the aging inspector Adamat from McClellan’s Powdermage trilogy, the ambience and eerie feel of the tv series The Alienist, as well as that near constant sense of the uncanny present throughout Neil Gaiman’s the Sandman comics. Add to that a witchy mystery and things just become even juicier!įirst and foremost then, let me go for some nerdery that was rolling around my head the whole time I was reading this novel. Just the idea that there are two people living in one body, but that each can lead a completely different life during the day or night respectively, is so absolutely awesome that I just couldn’t wait to see how Towsey navigated the complexities of such a society. The front cover looks amazing and evokes the premise of the story oh so well and, speaking of, what.
