Honestly, when my friend sold this book to me as "lesbian necromancers in space", I already knew it was going to my list of Best Books Ever. I was not disappointed! I laughed, I cried, both at the same time. The language is snappy and sassy, and the characters are well-written to the point they feel more real than some real-life people. Will definitely read again, and again.
