I adore the concept of Amy of the Necromancers, it's a really unique take on necromancers. The author also did a really great job of writing a cast of mostly women, with a queer protagonist and not making the book be about that. It felt real and natural (as it should).
This is the sort of representation I've been craving.
Having said that, there's some clumsy 'men can be dangerous, women are right to be afraid' dialogue that made me cringe. It's not that the topic made me cringe, just that with how the story ends, it's clumsily written and confuses whatever message or takeaway the ending was trying to convey.
I hope this is a series. I'd like to read more about Amy, Toni and their friends. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
