I thoroughly enjoyed this novella! Such a fascinating world that's been built, and I would enjoy more stories from this universe (universes?). This is a quick read, peppered with some wit and humor.

This book is best described as a hit on John Wick with fantastical assassins on the hunt. Good story overall.

I kinda simultaneously loved and hated this book. it was gorgeous and gory. I'm happy I read it, but also glad to be done with it.
