Will I love Daughter of the Burning City?

A story with magic and mystery, like my first book, Daughter of the Burning City is unlike any book I have read. The magic system within the book is called “Jynx-work” and the users of the magic often inhabit the traveling city circus of Gomorrah Festival, a place of vice and sin shunned by the more pious world around them. 

Sorina is the first illusion worker in years. She creates tangible illusions, ones with personalities and free will to exist outside of her control. But when they start dying like real people would in a series of gruesome murders, there… show more.

This book has it all: it has creepy moments, an excellent mystery, a beautiful and unique setting, a diverse and interesting cast, and of course queer rep. For a long time, finding asexual characters in anything was a rarity, and so finding this book meant a lot to me, as her love interest is asexual and that doesn't bother her in the slightest. Above all, though, I love the marvelous worldbuilding and the incredibly interesting premise of 'how do you murder someone who doesn't actually exist'.
