This was a reread. Some things were more cringey and cliche and black-and-white than I remembered. Didn't agree with all the ideals pushed, but some of the quotes have just stayed with me and found a permanent place in my mind. The audiobook narrator does an excellent job.

"Your name is no curse, Little Bird. I just like the taste of it."

"You must not allow yourself to be consumed so thoroughly by death. It's not selfish to live."

"'It's exhausting,' Signa said as she looked down to her lap, 'to pretend you are something - someone - you're not.' Blythe took her by the hand. 'Then do not spend your life exhausted.'"

"To me, you are a song to a soul that has never known music, light to someone who has only seen the darkness."

"You are no soft thing to be coddled.... You are bolder than the sun, Signa Farrow, and it's time that you burn."

"I don't want you so focused on the world of the dead that you forget to enjoy that of the living."

A murder mystery wrapped up in a Death-as-romantic-interest bow. I definitely enjoyed this read, and there were enough twists and turns to keep it interesting.
