i did enjoy the premise of the book, especially the different ideas of schools of necromancy, plus the marriage of necromancy to the horror of it. i liked the characters, the development of them, and their overall relationship. i less enjoyed the fact gideon takes about 3-5 business days to learn what everyone else has figured out and also the writing style did take some getting used to - lots of throwing words and phrases out without any explanation or context until chapters later (more in the earlier chapters than later ones, but damn give me a dictionary)

An absolutely incredible book! I personally had trouble keeping up with characters, but I think that was just from the sheer speed I was reading this book at. I was OBSESSED with it! I loved seeing the interactions between all the characters, especially between Gideon and Harrowhark (later on, that is). The horror aspects towards the end were so cool to me, too! I'm really curious to see how to series continues after the ending

A fascinatingly morbid world that you get in bite-sized chunks with strong and flawed characters you will grow to love.
