This was a cute little book! I should've known I would vibe with it since I enjoyed Lark's other series, and I can safely say that even in an entirely different series Lark still keeps me entertained! This was one was pretty short, even more so than the other novels, but I think it was still a pretty good introduction to the world! I don't normally go for stuff with a focus on necromancy but I like how it was portrayed in this book. It would've been nice to get a little bit more detail into how necromancy works and all it could do in this world besides the action scenes, but I don't think anything was lacking!
Shae and Arthur were cute. Definitely insta-love, especially with where we ended the book, but still cute. I love touch-starvation as a trope and doubly so when it actually physically affects them for some (usually magical) reason. The whole paladin/necromancer dynamic gave it a D&D feel which was pretty enjoyable.
Overall a solid book! I'll most likely be continuing this series since it's only a trilogy!
