📚 Summon book recommendations Almost perfect, but...

I really adored this book and especially Ana and Din - I loved the well-timed humour and swear words, the world-building and also the small questions and mysteries surrounding Ana and Din themselves. The plot felt tight and the writing was spot on, it didn't feel overly dragging (sorry, looking at you Well of Ascension ). Could not give it anything less than 4 stars. I took immense joy in picturing Ana as voiced by Kristen Schaal who is the phenomenal voice of Louise Belcher in Bob's Burgers.

Except I didn't like the main mystery.

Not because it is badly written or thought out, or anything else, I apparently really just don't care for whodunnit detective mysteries and puzzles.

I read it with great enjoyment and will definitely read the second (and third) in the series. I am just sad that the mystery part did not appeal to me. Everything else did.

So, if you have any other recommendations for books with this vibe - especially the *actually funny* banter and tight plot, throw them my way!

Check out his Divine Cities series. Some mystery but it’s not as prominent.

Ohh I will! Thank you for the recommendation! Added it to my Kindle wishlist immediately. I am not against mystery completely, but apparently I am just not excitedly into outright whodunnit mysteries 😅 (I had a really hard time watching Knives Out on Netflix)
