Would you agree to be resurrected years later after death in exchange for being a contracted assassin? I often find myself asking this question. Jk but I did receive this ARC which is set to release August 6. This was such a short, fun, quick read. Assassins and gods? Count me in. It almost gave me zombieland vibes with some humor and the rules on how to make it through life as an assassin reminded me of the rules on how to make it through a zombie apocalypse. The cast is diverse, the setting was interesting and I would say probably my favorite part was the descriptions of food. It probably made me snack more than I should’ve. This is categorized on GR as adult but I would say it read more along the lines of YA. The plot seems to move on rather quickly which I prefer. However, I can’t quite explain it but it wasn’t hitting the ‘great’ mark for me. Maybe it would’ve hit a little better if it was longer? I’m not sure.
Thanks to NetGalley and Tordotcom for providing this ARC for review
