Necromantic battles are just as awesome as they sound. Thoroughly enjoyed the characters and the mysterious plot.

I HATED Harrowhark when I started, and I am so glad she managed to change my mind. 
The worldbuilding was heavy and at times confusing, but the dialogue was engaging and refined and the fight scenes were cinematic.
