City of Dragons
Kelli Stanley manages to achieve some very difficult things in City of Dragons: recreating time and place powerfully but without excessive romanticizing, honoring the noir classics without losing any sense of originality, and capturing the events and tensions of the world without losing the story along the way. It takes a very skilled writer to achieve something like this.
Written in a prose style that’s simultaneously staccato and smooth, City of Dragons is a compelling and powerful novel
