Tamsyn Muir writes with a vocabulary suitable for a science-fantasy necromancy novel. I have to look up obscure adjectives all the time, and some times the dictionary claims they don't exist. I still get the point. This makes it all the much more delightful when the characters intersperse the dark art with a surprise "that's what she said" from time to time, and there are a couple of hard core dad jokes in this book that really landed.

I can't wait to see what happens in the next book which is ... not out until forever! Noooo!

By forever I mean it's out next year. :P
