The general format of the story reminded me greatly of Alice in Wonderland - but if Alice was whisked away by a dead man's horse, instead of lured by a rabbit.

The story felt dense, and the fantastical elements took themselves very seriously - the world building was impressive, and I can genuinely understand why this is the beginning of a fairly long running series. I was really pleased with the pacing, with a large resolve halfway through, the main conflict resolving around 85%, and various points of conflict and character growth throughout. The story also didn't hold punches - fair warning that if you do not like character deaths, do not pick up this book. They drop like flies.
