The Tainted Cup (Shadow of the Leviathan, 1) - UK Paperback

The Tainted Cup is a great hommage to the Sherlock Holmes stories, with an incredible set of characters, a psychedelic world building and a really well done murder mystery.

I let myself be completely taken away by the world of the Empire - threatened by giant monsters (hi Attack on Titan) and endangered by rich people (there is a real critic of gentrification here) - and totally adored Din, Ana and the rest of the side characters.
The Holmes-Watson relationship was really funny and I cant wait to read more of their adventures together.
