This book was a bit slow at first because there was a lot of world building and info dumping, HOWEVER, once I got into the story I absolutely loved it! I love Zevander's backstory. And the dark and gruesome vibes of the book were so good.

Some of my favorite quotes;

I'd learned at too early an age that the sound of a girl's scream drew nothing more than apathy.

And nothing invokes fear quite like the peculiar.

How tragic that a woman's worth equated to the depth of a man's pockets.

Belief if power. Without it, the gods do not truly exist.

Fear inspires strength.
