While it took me a moment to get into the writing/slang, after I did I really enjoyed it. There is a very creative magical system in play, but it often left me quite confused as to what people's actual powers were. Overall an enjoyable read that keep pretty good pacing throughout the entire story.

lim's review
I wanted to love this but... How could a story with magic, murder plots, and badass queer women be that boring? I went into it expecting a fun (or at least interesting) historical fantasy with a sapphic bodyguard romance, but every page was a struggle to get through. The weird made-up words and old-timey speech the MC used made it unbearable. Around 30%, I realized how much more I had left and just couldn't do it.
