From the moment I opened this book, I was enthralled. Buehlman showcases a talent that, in my opinion, hasn't received the acclaim it deserves in the realm of modern horror fiction. His prose is crisp, clear, and evocative, as well as beautifully fast-paced. It's like watching a master magician at work – you know there's a trick, but the execution is so flawless you're left wondering if maybe, just maybe, magic is real.
This is a well-crafted, imaginative, and gripping novel. It's a blend of horror and fantasy that manages to be both entertaining and thought-provoking. While not a book with universal appeal – its dark themes and intense scenes won't be everyone's cup of tea – for those who dare to walk through the necromancer's door, it's a journey worth taking
