Don’t judge this book by its cover!
A really solid debut. There’s a lot of interesting and unique aspects of this book that differentiate it from other romantasy novels.
Death as a character is so, so interesting, and even though he (it?) is certainly not an ally, I don’t really consider him the antagonist of this story. I think the crown causes much more strife for our protagonist.
I’m not a fan of Sullivan and found Hellevir’s soft spot for her very frustrating, but ultimately they have a chance to win me over as a couple in the next book. I was glad to see Hellevir take the reins at the end.
