A dark, gorey adventure about necromancers in space. I had read the tagline about lesbian necromancers, but that was sadly a very subtle theme in the book. I would have enjoyed some more love and action for Gideon on that front, but it's still a very good read. Just not a romance if that's what you are expecting. 

Gideon was a fun and engaging character. The character arcs for her and Harrow were so well done. 

This is mostly a murder mystery with an over arching plot about the Lyctors and a Necro King.
