This was a cool little horror novella. The logic of the magic felt a bit abrupt, but the prose was *chef’s kiss,* and I think this served as a sort of literary pilot episode for the series. It read a bit like a contemporary Sworn Soldier (the T. Kingfisher series) and I’m very much looking forward to the next two installments.
