While this was an engaging enough read with an interesting look at the historical London jazz scene as well as fleshing out the magic system a bit more, I'm still not yet convinced it's really a Best Series candidate, since this installment wasn't quite compelling enough for me to sit down and read all at once instead of on-and-off during bus rides over a couple of weeks. But possibly it levels up in later books and I'm willing to persuaded and I did pre-emptively grab the novella once it went on deep-discount sale.

You might want to try the Audible version, read by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith. Personally, I found it one of those readings that defines the book(s). I enjoy them more having listened to them than I would have just reading.
