The first 16 chapters were very very slow. But once I hit the halfway mark it picked up, and after 2/3 in, I finished in a day. 

The characters are fun and the tone is very fresh. It was great and I am devastated.

I devoured this book in a view days. Remarkably unique setting straddling both fantasy and sci-fi. The make-or-break feature for most will be the prose, which one will either love or hate. It vascillates between the verbose and descriptive to the terse and laconic, often creative, often comedic. I enjoyed it greatly. I can see how others might not. Either way, Tamsyn Muir has a unique and striking voice.
One of my favorite reads this year. Thoroughly recommended.

 "One flesh, one end." This book will have you cracking up over its dialogue and asides, then turn around and break you-- but GOD IT'S WORTH IT. Necromancers in a futuristic space opera setting? Check. Murder mystery? Check. Super buff lesbian with a sword and a sense of humor? Absolutely. Scrawny, sapphic bone adept? You betcha. You'll be cracking up and breaking like the best of eggs over this one, so surrender to The Locked Tomb brainrot and break with me-- you won't regret it. ;)
