This is a fabulous book - the world and magic system are well developed and interesting, the plot is suspenseful and unpredictable, but for me the characters are the strongest part of the novel. Even relatively minor characters are vivid and well fleshed out, and almost all of them provoked strong feelings from me. I also always appreciate a LGBT protagonist. Definitely pick this up if you’re interested in a book that combines fantasy/horror/political intrigue to great effect.
