I really enjoyed this book! The pacing at the beginning was a little slow and I was very confused off the bat with all the terms, however the glossary helped this a lot. Once Act 3 started, I was absolutely sold. It's got a little bit of everything: murder mystery, sci-fi, necromancy, lesbian pining, and some awesome sword fighting sequences. I ended up making a little chart of characters to keep the necromancers and cavaliers of each house straight, and this greatly helped me as well since there are a LOT of characters to remember and keep up with.

I am excited to read the next book in the series!

The only thing that annoyed me about this book was the parts written in second person. It was so jarring and weird. I know that it was very intentional and added to the story, but I just wasn't really a fan of that choice.

BUT everything else was amazing. An incredible sequel!
