Gideon was a fantastic narrator, funny and flawed and truly unique. She's chaotic and hilarious!
This book took me a while to get through, and I think that's partly due to my brain being picky about reading, but also partly because of how gory and tense things got in the story. I couldn't always stomach it for multiple chapters at a time. Between the injuries and the sometimes-dense plot, this was a book I had to tackle in smallish chunks. That being said, I'm starting the sequel right away so I don't forget any important plot points.

buckle the fuck up homies, theres a lot of content warnings. graphic warnings will not be elaborated on because they are just broad themes of the book (it's about necromancy, you kind of sign up for this). child abuse listed formsradiosilence's review against another edition
