Assassin rule # 942, read this book. Filled with murder, mystery, mayhem and more, Clark's latest offering may be short, but oh, is it sweet. With a few deft pen strokes the world of the Dead Cat Tail Assassins comes to life. Rich, like a tapestry, the world unfurls on the pages. Sights, sounds, and flavors mix with the hijinks of unforgettable characters like Eveen and her fellow undead. This was way to short a trip to this fantastic world, but well worth it.
Thanks to NetGalley and Tordotcom for an ecopy in exchange for an honest review.
