I love Roanhorse's characters and world-building, so I immediately fell into this slim, pacy novella. The action is present from page one, and doesn't let up as Roanhorse builds a compelling drama. This story gives the energy of a CW paranormal drama—themes that might be a little too obvious but plots and characters engaging enough to keep you hooked. There was little nuance in this story of the blessed and the damned, but I was hooked until the bittersweet end. A really fun, quick read from an author who I look forward to reading more from.

Thanks Netgalley and Gallery Books for the advanced digital copy!
