Despite this book being hyped as "the lesbian necromancers in space" novel, I expected way more lesbians, romance, and Sci-Fi elements than what this novel actually has. Internet hype aside, this book is still very enjoyable and a great popular representation of sapphism in modern fiction (even giving a sapphic flair to romance tropes usually attributed to straight relationships).
There's also incredibly accurate depictions of human skeletal biology that isn't really seen in most fiction media depicting necromancy or the undead, so big kudos of the author for including those.
