I loved the writing and world building in this book. Tamsyn MuirI could very easily have become a new favorite author of mine. I felt drawn in to the story and was desperately rooting for the main characters.

The reason I took off half a star was because this was yet another book with lgbtqia+ representation where the focus couple gets together towards the end, is briefly happy, then one of them dies. Then when I looked for the second book, the summary made it look like the lesbian(?) character who died never existed. I didn't want to read another book where the queer characters can't survive if they dare to be happy.

In Tamsyn's defense though, I probably should have expected main character death in a book revolving around necromancy.
