“Lesbian necromancers explore a haunted gothic palace in space!” (Charles Stross) is a top tier blurb for a top tier book.

It took me a little while to get into this, but once it got going it really got going. 10/10*

This had to grow on me! Bordered on a little too tongue-in-cheek sometimes. Loved how weird it was though.

This book is not what I thought it would be.  The writing was very difficult to follow.
