It seems like I've listed a lot I will say this is a book about necromancers and knights, and the two main characters have a very complicated relationship

The book is about necromancy in a space empire center on LGBT+ characters but it’s focus is not on romance despite the advertising done by TikTok. However there are romantic elements within the story

one does not bind their soul to another without some kind of love for the other unless you are Ianthe

. It is an intellectual read that covers up the horror story unfolding underneath the language. It was easier to read via audiobook than by book alone.

If the ending of the book was spoiled for you don’t panic. The series is worth it to keep going.

Gideon does kill herself at end of the book for Harrow but that is not the end of Gideon Nav’s story. She will come back in the other books. Death isn’t simple when necromancy is involved.

I love everything about this book. The narration is quick and witty; the author blends beautiful prose in with crass language. 

This is a story about problems that could have been easily solved had any of the characters tried to communicate with each other, but it’s not a story that relies on miscommunication. 

The cast of characters is memorable and (mostly) lovable. The setting is intriguing. And the magic system in this world is downright fascinating. 

I cannot express how much I love this book short of a full fledged essay.
