this book was such an interesting and unique concept I couldn't wait to read it and it didn't disappoint especially starting the story with our main character's death.

the world building was a bit hard to follow at first since I couldn't properly visualize the setting from mentions of both 1920s vibes and also skyscrapers??(after that I just imagined the towns like altissia lol) but once you get more in the story it gets easier to follow the actual concept of what the author was going for. and for the politics, it is well written as well and its definitely something to get a good grasp on throughout the story for later, I especially enjoyed the branches of necromancy and hope we can see more about different magic types in more depth.

the character were great, likeable and without feeling dull plus I liked how some of their past can be seen through how a part of them acts.

and without spoiling, the ending was unexpected and had me blankly staring at 'the end' page lmao😭😭

Thanks to NetGalley and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-Op for providing this eARC in exchange for an honest review.
