When I decided to reserve this book on my library app, I only knew 2 things about it. One: it was by the same author as Sea of Tranquility, which I absolutely devoured in 24 hours and wouldn't shut up about for weeks. Two: that many people who have read that book recommend reading this one first as, although it is in no way a sequel, amongst Sea of Tranquility's rather large cast of characters we find three characters from The Glass Hotel two years after their story there has ended. Had I known that there were no sci-fi elements and that the main storyline was centred around the 2008 financial crash, there is absolutely no way I would have picked it up. But god, I'm so glad I did.

It is possible for few to experience life happily. Because those who find it will find it. In the New Testament of the Bible, Jesus Christ said like this - the way of life is narrow and few will find it and only they will enter it. It is said that the way of death is wide and all who enter it will die.

The current conditions of the honey-coated sword depend on this. Every person has a bad habit or a good habit. He who says he has no bad habits is a liar. Bad habits are just middle school, smoking, and fornication! There will be many people who will say that I do not have such things.

Charlie Hall has never found a lock she couldn’t pick, a book she couldn’t steal, or a bad decision she wouldn’t make. She's spent half her life working for gloamists, magicians who manipulate shadows to peer into locked rooms, strangle people in their beds, or worse. Gloamists guard their secrets greedily, creating an underground economy of grimoires. And to rob their fellow magicians, they need Charlie. Now, she’s trying to distance herself from past mistakes, but going straight isn’t easy. Bartending at a dive, she’s still entirely too close to the corrupt underbelly of the Berkshires. Not to mention that her sister Posey is desperate for magic, and that her shadowless and possibly soulless boyfriend has been keeping secrets from her. When a terrible figure from her past returns, Charlie descends back into a maelstrom of murder and lies. Determined to survive, she’s up against a cast of doppelgängers, mercurial billionaires, gloamists, and the people she loves best in the world — all trying to steal a secret that will allow them control of the shadow world and more.
