Thank you to Netgalley and Tor for a free copy in exchange for an honest review!

Another novella that I wish was longer! I LOVED this world. We get so much world building in such a short time. I love the concept of undead assassins. Despite only being 224 pages, I felt like I was able to get to know and care about the characters, which is no easy feat to do in such few pages.
I also need to note that the writing was so enjoyable and humorous! I found myself smirking and chuckling at multiple points throughout this story.

I need more. I sincerely hope that this isn't the last we see of Eveen, Fennis, and Sky!

Highly recommend everyone picking this one up!
