On the cover is a quote describing the story and it just says “Lesbian necromancers explore a haunted gothic palace in space.” This is absolutely correct, but it left out that they have swords.
The author shows an incredible and unique use of showing a story through a flawed characters perspective. For the majority of the book you have no clue what is happening or what anyone is doing because Gideon Nav is doesn’t really care to observe it.
