Literary, propulsive, and scary—a very engaging story, even when it takes its time with its protagonists interiority. What most impressed me was how many layers of conflict there were: internal, external, otherworldly. It makes for a rich read. Some ...more |

"An awesome quick read that absolutely nailed meshing sword&sorcery with Liggotian horror. I loved how developed and real all the characters felt, even the ones we only know briefly, and the action scenes were riveting, page-turning fun. Highly recomm"
