This book definitely gets better on reread and I did really like it first time around. I think knowing the kind of bonkers necromantic mashup that it turns out to be definitely helps and, more importantly, the twists aren't that necessary to enjoying the plot. Knowing what's going to happen makes it fun because you see the tropes play out.
Also, I mean, Moira Quick KILLS IT with the narration.
My plan for next week is to see if Harrow improves on aural acquaintance and then I can finally read Nona.
