Stayed up late to finish this so writing less than it deserves but fucking excellent. One thing that really stood out was how engaging the prose was, especially doing a similar bit that Harrow the Ninth does (well, did before). Every bit of this was so well put together, I don't feel like anything overpowers one another, the plot, characters, themes, etc stand in equal importance, which makes for a really engaging and rich read. Also not afraid to get dark
