Thank you to NetGalley & Tor for sending me this ARC copy for review!
This was such a fun novella by P. Djèlí Clark. It packed so many things into such a small book and all were things I really enjoy. We have an undead assassin who is given an assignment more wild that she could imagine. It leads to a action packed night filled with magic, misfortune, and mayhem.
I really enjoy the humor within the story and the way Clark is able to build a world in such a short amount of pages. I wasn't expecting most of the plot of this book and it was a nice surprise. I think Clark really shines with his novellas so if you didn't enjoy his longer works, this might work better for you.
Overall, if you enjoy fast faced fantasies where you have to watch the main character get themselves out of a mess then I would highly suggest it!
