I don't remember where this book came from or how it ended up in my queue; it was the next one up, so I dutifully picked it up and read it. It is fun, light, and entertaining. I love the immersive Thomas Hardy-esque descriptions of London neighborhoods and (accurate) history. And I appreciate how the magic system is consistent and weaker than real-world physics and technology, such that it does not suspend disbelief. I may pick up the earlier books or stories but my queue is growing to the point of Tsundoku ( 積ん読 ) so I probably won't. 4/5 Stars.
