The world building is amazing.
It’s almost like “urban fantasy without magic” in that it’s set in our world, but there’s this parallel world right under our noses where these superhuman assassins rule the world with secret societies, are trained in secret schools and have gorgeous hotels they pay for with weird gold coins.
It’s Harry Potter without the magic and transphobia.
