I may or may not have made a nonhuman, pterodactyl-like screech of protest when I realized I'd finished this book. I demand a sequel. DEMAND IT. 
 I really enjoyed the take on magic and alchemy, especially the way Andre incorporates them into the modern world. I hope there's a sequel partly because I hope to see more exploration of the way alchemy works, how ingredients are chosen and interact with each other, and how the magic system comes to play in it. 
 Likewise, the characters are wonderfully written, the pacing is spot-on, and the way the threads are pulled together at the end is brilliant and shows careful planning, plotting, and writing throughout the novel. 
 Seriously. Sequel. Gimme.
