The vibes of this book are immaculate. Necromancies, sword fighting, and space all fantastic.
I was very confused while reading this so I will probably reread it eventually. And I will say the plot was pretty slow.
My favorite thing about the book is probably Gideon. Oh little gay Gideon. She pines after almost every hot woman and doesn’t even know it. She’s so dumb and silly and everyone else is so dark and serious it’s just a funny contrast.
