The Dead Cat Tail Assassins by P. Djèlí Clark

3.0

There are three rules to being an undead assassin in Tal Abisi: a contract must be just, you can only kill those who have been contracted, and a contract must be fulfilled (or all of hell might literally show up on your doorstep)--and Eveen the Eviscerator is well on her way to breaking another one of these unbreakable vows. Fast paced and funny, "The Dead Cat Tail Assassins" trips you into a world of magic, murder, and mansplaining, with a loud-mouthed main character not afraid of the forces amassing against her (or her goddess' fiery tits).

While the sudden-stop of an ending was ultimately unsatisfying compared to the depth and heart of the rest of the story, I enjoyed Clark's writing and flair for description. Kept waiting for this one to magically grow more pages so I could spend more time in Eveen's world.
