I really enjoyed this book -- and think you will too, if you're all-in for a roadtrip romp following a genderless, long-suffering, decent human soul just trying to find their missing body, with the rather dubious help of a snarky, gloriously unpleasant lesbian necromancer.
The setting is a fantasy Byzantine Empire, with just enough world-building to carry the story and give an immediate sense of place, without getting into lore-dumping.
The characters' interactions were the highlight of the book for me, but the plot is respectable too.
15/20.
