As expected from this series, the writing style is simple yet rich – smoothly bringing the story to life. The fascinating world and magic are also nicely expanded through the grand political intrigue that takes place.

HOW TO KILL MEN AND GET AWAY WITH IT by Katy Brent
The casual, conversational writing style is paired with a satirical narrative that is both uncomfortable and entertaining in its use of dark humour and commentary on social issues. Vivid (sometimes gruesome) details and smooth transitions between current and past events also enhance the story and keep it engaging.
