What an absolute gem of a book but holy shit where to start. This is a speculative cacophony of sinners who find themselves in the midst of an infestation.
This is my first book by this author, and I was privileged enough to receive a physical ARC from Tor. While I don't typically read horror adjacent fantasy I absolutely devoured this book much like the bugs covering the city of Tiliard are attempting to devour its inhabitants.
The writing is purple, purple all the way down into the depths of hell. The world is complex, ever growing and changing like the city at its focus. I truly cannot describe the experience of reading this book to you. The plot is alive, I was on the edge of my seat trying to unravel the reality of it all.
The characters are spectacular, their motivations are sticky, oozing into the pages as we dive into the layers upon layers at play here. I love a clever book, and this is so smartly written I felt like I was in a competition with the book itself to see if I could figure it all out by the end.
Absolute banger. No notes. Go read this book.
