3.5 stars. This is a weird little book, a good kind of weird. If you like a little murdery fantasy, pick this up.

This was dark, thrilling & weird (in the best way). I adored the writing and reading about these complex and interesting characters. This is definitely the perfect quick halloween read!

Thank you Tor for providing me with an ARC!

Plot wasn't all there if I'm being completely honest with myself...things didn't make sense at times but I enjoyed myself! Because I had so much fun I couldn't be crazily critical of it but I can totally see how someone could read this and be confused with the progression of the plot.

This was such an amazing grotesque, gothic read.
I loved the characters and the setting, it reminded me of Frankenstein and I lived for it.

The only reason it isn’t a 5 star is that it just ended so quickly!
