I loved the worldbuilding and the atmosphere of this book a lot! A story about bloodmages with undead protectors, full of court intrigue, set in a Greco-Roman/Gothic city surrounded by a deadly blight? And it's queer as well? Amazing. There were multiple interesting scenes and twists in the story. I had trouble relating to the main character at times, because she was quite impulsive and quick to anger, but on the other hand that did bring the story to interesting places.
