Started off more focused on world and character building, but once the plot began this really livened up. Excellent book

DNF with 21 minuntes left. Made it through most of the book, thought it was pretty great, but they murder a cat for literally no reason VERY graphically at the end and now I'm just never gonna finish this series.

Literally what is with stupid white women and murdering cats. I'll never understand it.

I really wanted to like this book. But Libba Bray had to go and kill a cat.
