Closer to a 4.5.
I got to meet and hear Julie C. Day at a reading back in December, and picked up this book. Honestly? It's well-done, has a great little story, but for me, it was done and I just wanted to spend a lot more time in this universe.
I mean, outside of all the evil stuff. Just an amazing atmosphere, some stellar worldbuilding throughout. This shouldn't get overlooked at all.

A great little book helping us to understand just how it might go down if the long awaited Rapture fails to live up to its promises of world-ending glory. The main characters are well written and really help to carry things along as they bring the story to the Sumerian underworld. Really enjoyed it.

Funny, dark, strange, and heartwarming at the same time, this is a fast-paced horror/dark fantasy story about two queer girls in love who try to save the world by bringing about the Sumerian Rapture (which might seem to be an odd way of saving the world, but hey, in this cast it works). The characters are wonderful in all their fiery, gnarly teen girl glory, and their "road trip" adventure through the underworld is phantasmagorically trippy. The story moves at a fast clip, and it was the voice of the main characters and their bond that really kept me hooked.
