I’ve barely started this book but the almost non-existent but really irritating background music is all I can hear so I’m giving up. Why is it necessary to have music at all? I say music, it’s more of a grating sound effect.

After enjoy the Scarlet City series so much, I was a little wary of being disappointed but, mercifully, this first book in a new series is anything but a disappointment!
