This book was sold to me as lesbian necromancers explore a haunted palace in space and honestly, it delivered. It's funny, witty, uniquely written all while being dark and tense and mysterious. It's refreshing to see a very serious plot and characters in serious situations while they don't take themselves too seriously. And honestly, it was made to read too many actual internet memes embedded in the text. I both loved and hated it.
