Book #1
Is a wild mix of Sherlock Holmes, Pacific Rim, and cyberpunk-style body notifications. Really beats you over the head with fantasy terminology. But, you're rewarded with a dense, intertwined murder mystery. The characters are original anda lot of energy goes into interrogating the role each of us plays in society and what society owes us in return. I just would have appreciated it a little more if there were a glossary up front.

Book #2
Another excellent fantasy mystery full of political intrigue and layers of deception. Had me guessing at every step. There's a lot to keep track of, but it builds its case well. The worldbuilding is excellent, per all of the author's works. Its protagonists play off each other swimmingly. Excited for more!
