The prose and poetry woven into this book is so strong, really made me feel like was among the asphodels.
The world building was a bit hard to grasp, things happened so fast so I'm not sure if I wasn't paying attention enough.
Though I enjoyed the writing, the plot was a bit confusing. There also was a hijabi character that I did not expect. I personally don't like mixing religion with fantasy and having a muslim character dealing with the occult made me a bit uncomfortable, something I didn't enjoy.
