"Dark Blood (Tristopolis #2)" by John Meaney♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
3.5 stars. Incredible world-building and likable characters that unfortunately don't get explored enough. In my opinion, the author sacrifices character richness to style. You would have to read it to understand what I mean by style - this is an alternate universe unlike any other I've ever encountered in a book. So yeah, the ideas are brilliant, I just wish the author built more of a connection between his characters and the reader.
The book ends with a terrible cliffhanger and considering it was published in 2009 and since then nothing, it doesn't look like a 3rd book will ever come to be.
