Very fun book spooky read. Even if you guess a bunch of twists a mile off, the payoff and the scrappy band of friends are well worth it. My only quibble: it is so obviously what if we made a straight, mostly white version of Gideon the Ninth? I spent half the book just marveling how the author could be inspired by a gayass POC necromancer book and carry over….only the necromancy bits.
