“One flesh, one end”
IM SORRY WHAT THAT WAS LITERALLY SO CRAZY AND AMAZING HOW DARE I START THE YEAR THIS WAY NOTHING CAN COMPARE
the writing style is so unique and this was def not like anything ive ever read. funny clever and cerebral, and then wholeheartedly surprisingly HEARTBREAKING right at the end. losing my mind. one of my new favorites. god i wish this was a tv show it would be SO GOOD
i had literally no idea any of the plot of this before i began it so heres my summary:
frenemies, a small grumpy religious space necromancer and her fighting lesbian himbo cavalier, team up to go to a gothic palace with other house necs/cavaliers and undergo several confusing and seemingly random tests (opening doors) to become a Lyctor (a righthand man of their God, the Emperor of Space) but end up wound into an elaborate murder mystery, trying to find out what they’re really there to do and/or up against.
