I am not a big fantasy reader but when a friend recommended this and said lesbian necromancers in space I had to give it a shot! I think because I'm not a big fantasy reader it took me a little while to figure out what was going on and how to keep track of everyone but once I did I really enjoyed the story. I think it was a little long but since it is a series they are setting the world up for future stories as well. The best part about the whole story is Gideon herself. If you like snarky, sarcastic, spunky leads then you will love Gideon. Her interactions with everyone are hilarious but especially her relationship with Harrow.
