Heres the setup:
The Reaper of Sunpo is death and Death does not die. Young Lina is an assassin forced to use her skills for those who killed her friends and hold her little sister hostage. To keep her sister safe she steals a tapestry which happened to belong to the Pied Piper. Trapped in another realm she must kill or be killed, but there are politics at play she doesn't understand.
This was a fun one. Lina was well developed, wasn't too superhuman in her abilities. She cares so much about her sister and you see her work through the grief and guilt of what happened to her friends. Yes I generally figured out how it was going to play out but overall I liked it a lot and look forward to the sequel.
