The writing is mediocre, the plot develops at a glacial pace, the characters aren't fully developed and the relationships between them are unconvincing.
I don't care enough to continue with this series.

Literally my only gripe with this book was the romance. Personally, I thought it was a bit disjointed and didn't work with the overall theme of the book. This would have done wonderfully as a historical fantasy mystery, the romance just adds nothing to it other than 2-3 counts of implied, but unnecessary, sexual content.

I love the personification of death as a character/love interest so much, SO MUCH. This story was lush in imagery and I loved the world. Signa is such a strong and interesting character. The whole concept
“Your name is no curse, Little Bird. I just like the taste of it”
“To me, you are a song to a soul that has never known music. Light to someone who has only seen the darkness. You bring out the absolute worst in me, and I become vindictive toward those who treat you in ways I don’t care for. Yet you also bring out the best in me—I want to be better because of you. Better for you.”
“Because I have waited an eternity to meet you, Signa Farrow.”
“And at other times you are an endless annoyance. Always, though, you are a fascination”
“I have waited for you for millennia, Signa Farrow.” There was a silky husk to his voice now, too pleased for his own good. “Since the dawn of this earth, I have waited. You are mine, and I am yours. And together, this world is ours.”
