A Short Review of City of Stairs, by Robert Jackson Bennett

City of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennett

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I liked the world created here: the city of Bulikov and its visible and real gods, gods who can be killed, now conquered and its history erased, well, censored, as the reminders are there. Enter Shara Thivani, seemingly a junior diplomat sent by the city's conquerors, as part of the government. But she is really sent to solve a murder and in the process of her covert investigation, it turns out these gods might not be so dead, and that the past might not be so hidden after all.

Good stuff.
