Less space, and gay than anticipated, lots of necromancy.
Was a hard one on audio, there were so many names and people and it was hard to keep track when I couldn't see the names.
I'll probably re-read it to get a better grip on the whole story since I stopped and started a lot, but I really enjoyed the mystery and intensity of the story.
Edit: well, I'm glad I re read it right aways 😅 much easier knowing who everyone is also before I had missed the part where they become friends and actually care about each other, so I had been confused.
It was still good. I still loved all the casual gay, and Gideon being a shit.

It's necromancy. It's a little gross
