I finished The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett and LOVED IT! The world-building was confusing at first, but once I had an idea of how the world worked? Amazing! I also loved the murder mystery investigation plot and the leviathans :D

Now I'm reading:
- So Let Them Burn by Kamilah Cole and it's not entirely what I expected for a YA Fantasy book! I'm enjoying it quite a bit so far since it focuses on sibling relationships and there are dragons. The writing is pretty easy to get into as well.
- The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden which is Historical/Paranormal set in WWI times. I'm not a fan of the split narrative, but I love Laura's perspective so far. It's so cozy to me in a really weird way lol

I have The Tainted Cup on my TBR, it sounded pretty interesting! Is the pacing good?

[wearing_tearing]

I'd say it's a bit slow to start? And then it goes from slow to medium. I personally loved it, so I highly rec it :D

Glad you enjoyed it Murder mystery + leviathans certainly does sound intriguing. Good luck with your new reads! :D

Oooh, I absolutely devoured his City of Stairs trilogy, I might have to add the Tainted Cup onto my TBR sooner rather than later! Especially since it sounds like it has similar vibes.

It does have very similar vibes! I think you'll very much enjoy this if The Divine Cities trilogy was a win for you :D
