I adored how Peter told the story about London life, it was an amusing read. Mr. Aaronovitch used a great way to attract attention to the world of London, so magical, fantastic and realistic at the same time. Also I loved the idea of magic mixing with architecture. I'm not an architecture expert but the architectural details were very believable and impressive mixed up with the magic stuff. At last I got some fun stuff to read about the bad-ass-witcher aka Nightingale. 
 His wild meeting with the Crazy Night Witch was enjoyable to read. Maybe Molly will have her fun playtime in the next book? Also I loved Lesley's character. I hope she'll be ok! 
 Sometimes I had to make pit stops to return some pages back just to find why smth happened 'cause I forgot why. Maybe it was because there were so much different storylines that seem to go nowhere. That's the reason why the story didn't grip me fully for the biggest part of the book, but the last third of the book was so fast paced and entertaining that it was a really tasty and spicy dessert, so worth waiting. 
 To sum up "Broken Homes" is not a disappointing read, it was entertaining and the ending achieved enough momentum to turn in a fast pace page turner.
