So thanks to his Previous Works, Chaste and Liefdom, I was well acquainted with Jesse Teller's style and mode of storytelling.
It's evocative and sinister, to say the least.
Mestlven was no exception.

First off, the story involves characters from the previous works I mentioned. Personally, it helped to read them to get an understanding of who was who and—in some cases—why they were the way they are. However, I didn’t feel I would have been lost or any less in tune with the account if I hadn’t.
You get some new characters and—if you read the other books—you’ll get old ones, one of which is Meredith also known as Sob, the woman calls Mestlven, the soiled den of degeneracy, home.
