Holy Hell. 
What an incredible book. 
It’s witty, it’s dark, it’s bloody and I’m absolutely in love. 
It was made even better with Moira Quirk lending voice to this dynamic story. 
I will treasure this first read forever.

I HATED Harrowhark when I started, and I am so glad she managed to change my mind. 
The worldbuilding was heavy and at times confusing, but the dialogue was engaging and refined and the fight scenes were cinematic.

4.0

This book took the full first half for me to settle into. It’s a brilliantly unique world build. The sheer number of titles/names each character could be referred to by is the thing that kept pulling me out of the story. 
Once settled in, it’s a wild, very dark ride that I didn’t want to get off.
