This book tells us our narrator is not likeable or a good person and it sure is true- not me feeling bad for the demons 😭
Very interesting discussions on art, legacy, and mortality. I love a morally grey cast of characters, somehow in this 100 or so page novella, the world and workings of this society felt so rich to me. I was intrigued by characters that were fleshed out and that ending is sure to leave a mark in my memory as it did to the world in Prosper’s Demon. Excited to read the next novella.

Honestly I can't really settle on how i feel about this. It was enjoyable but it's almost like a half if an idea that wasn't fleshed out enough.
