Even better, they ship interna Read more of this blog post »

This was a “wild card” pick for my 2025 TBR as it seems to divide so many readers. Some utterly adore this and others loathe it.

I fall kind of in between?

I loved the world building, different types of necromancer magic, the necromancer/cavalier bond,
