Delightfully creepy, this is definitely for fans of Gideon the Ninth. Cooney manages to keep good pace across this mammoth of a book, and I truly loved the world building, and it sort of felt like three books in one. I'm only sad that the next one apparently isn't out until 2025. I have docked .25 for making me read with my own two eyes, toe-sucking.
The only thing I didn't really understand is how it took the Blackbird Bride 7 years to guess it was Nita Stones killing her spouses. Like. The Stonses are literally famous for being the Royal's assassins I don't understand why she didnt at least pay Nita a visit.
  Otherwise, no notes
