well written and nicely plotted out, filled with well done characters.
it had some pacing issues since some sections were really slow and especially the climax and big reveal all happened to fast and basically all at once and the lead up to those final reveal moments felt rushed -almost as if the author remembered that the book had to end now and it all had to be solved and revealed still.
but while i think those moments could have been done better i didn’t kind the slow moments and the long build up.
i enjoyed Signa as a character a lot and absolutely loved Death!
i didn’t love the ending
all in all very enjoyable and a good experience and i am excited to continue on and see what Signa will experience next.

I love the personification of death as a character/love interest so much, SO MUCH. This story was lush in imagery and I loved the world. Signa is such a strong and interesting character. The whole concept
“Your name is no curse, Little Bird. I just like the taste of it”
“To me, you are a song to a soul that has never known music. Light to someone who has only seen the darkness. You bring out the absolute worst in me, and I become vindictive toward those who treat you in ways I don’t care for. Yet you also bring out the best in me—I want to be better because of you. Better for you.”
“Because I have waited an eternity to meet you, Signa Farrow.”
“And at other times you are an endless annoyance. Always, though, you are a fascination”
“I have waited for you for millennia, Signa Farrow.” There was a silky husk to his voice now, too pleased for his own good. “Since the dawn of this earth, I have waited. You are mine, and I am yours. And together, this world is ours.”

I found myself confused (not in a good way) sometimes, because the pacing was off. I also found the main character lacking personality until the plot started to become more clear.
In general, it was not the best book I have read, but not the worse. If you would like a dark-ish -sort of gothic-romance-who don it. Give it a read!
