I adored this book. It had maybe the best worldbuilding of any contemporary fantasy I've ever read. I loved the characters. I loved the way that Darcie Little Badger integrated the many different lore/magic systems. The vampires were especially compelling, especially when put in contact with the indigenous people of the land they were occupying. Kirby is best ghost dog. I will be reading everything this author writes.
