It had the found family trope that I always enjoy and surprising great asexual representation in the charming Andre. I am happy that our protagonist got some happiness in her life. Yet I must say the Albert section broke my heart into a million pieces.
Yet, This book tell the tragic story of a girl life that was destroyed by vengeance, that in turn bleeds into her afterlife. It shows what revenge can do to a soul when it is the only force guiding you. The Faceless woman is a complicated protagonist while I admire her distain for capitalism and industrialization I can't really get behind Spoiler Alert:
<Murdering each son in the lineage of the person who destroyed her life
I can get behind her murdering the person that actually did it they deserved it but the other people are innocent.>
Yet this books has so many poetic prose and profound moments that I had to give it 5 starts.
A great story if you love, found family trope, paths of vengeance, poetic prose, and pirates!

Anybody that hasn't engaged in the world of Night Vale before this will find it an easy book to get into, and no prior information of Night Vale is required to sink your teeth into the story. Those who are familiar with Night Vale will only find themselves more enthralled with the Faceless Old Woman and the journey that brought her to Night Vale.
I listened to the audiobook , narrated by the bold and calculating voice of Mara Wilson, the original voice for the Faceless Old Woman, who does the story justice, as we all knew she would. I would even recommend the audiobook, as having the Faceless Old Woman narrate her own story is a delight to listen to.
