The Dead Cat Tail Assassins by P. Djèlí Clark

5.0

This is a brilliant and hilarious tour-de-force from Clark, whose other work I have enjoyed to no end. Here, an assassin is sent to kill....someone who might very well be her younger self, literally. When the assassin runs, taking her quarry with her, adventures ensue, involving the world's equivalent of mediocre, White, crypto-flogging men in tech, other assassins, and goddesses. It's a romp through popular culture and fantasy tropes, and is glorious.
