This was hard to get into - there's a lot of names and nicknames and magic necromancer words throw at you right away. But also a lot of memes and modern slang and swearing and mentions of titty magazines. Interesting mix. Once I got my bearings, the story was fun. Gideon is kind of annoying though - in that she's witty in that Whedonesque/Marvel movie/doesn't take anything seriously kind of way (but more rated-r). The way she thinks and talks just makes me roll my eyes sometimes - there's even a "That's what she said." But she sort of grew on me by the end (much like she grew on Harrowhawk). There's some cool skeletons and magic and a decaying puzzle mystery mansion and a murder plot I guess, but there's just so many characters who all go by multiple names - I'm not sure I was invested enough in them by the time all the reveals started happening. Still I haven't read anything else quite like this.
