This was delightful. I liked the idea of it even though I'm not usually huge into time travel plot lines and there were parts of it that genuinely made me laugh. This does seem a bit long to be classified as a novella though

This world building!! Undead assassins, demons, magic, gore, eldritch horrors! I loved how funny this was, how demonic it was. Read this in one day, it was a very quick read. I really enjoy media that all takes place in one day or night. The countdown to dawn and the progression of Eveen’s character development as she makes many realizations she never thought she would.
