This book is marketed as “lesbian necromancers in space,” but I went through most of the book not knowing who these lesbian necromancers were. I think Gideon was great lesbian representation, but she’s not a necromancer, so I’m assuming that the quote referred to Harrow and Septimus? Maybe? This was a very confusing read for me, but it was also addicting! Gideon had an amazing voice, and I adored Sextus and Harrow as well!
