The Tainted Cup is an impressive blend of detective mystery & biopunk fantasy. Its leads are delightful iterations on Watson & Holmes, the setting is refreshingly nonstandard for its genre, and the reveals are never predictable, but they always make sense 5/5 Stars #TheTaintedCup

I forgot to review #TheTaintedCup but it’s an easy 5/5 murder mystery in fantastical world. The world is basically what if we advanced biological instead of tech. So you could turn yourself into a computer. Author said he was influenced by dune. Another thing is huge monsters try to destroy society

So so gifted - the writing makes storytelling fresh and stimulating!

The Tainted Cup by Robert Bennet is a clever read.
I got a new life motto out of this book: Always smile a little during the Abysmally fucking awful times.
The chemistry of the characters and the development of this story is phenomenal.

#Fantasy #BookReview #TheTaintedCup

the story is told from the POV of a watsonian character, a young man who'd just became an assistant to the eccentric, reclusive, middle-aged woman - the sherlockian brilliant investigator. together, they solve crimes and build an odd but remarkable friendship in the process 🩷 #TheTaintedCup

there is some gore to the murder mystery, yet it is poignantly - and poetically - woven into the worldbuilding and its existential threats; a deeply meaningful touch of horror. there's also intrigue, corruption, idealism, and VERY compelling characters (with disabilities!) 🩷

#TheTaintedCup was super fun. A fantasy take on Sherlock Holmes? Yes, please. It’s a promising start for this series. I can’t wait to read more. 4.25/5⭐️ #booksky

read this last year when it came out but I just pre-ordered the sequel yesterday🤩🤩 truly one of my favorite magic systems🌿✨

I didn’t know this was queer before I read it; I was just here for the Sherlock vibes. so that was a nice surprise🌈📚
