Grim grim grim grim grim. Not a single moment of hope and barely any levity across the entirety of this book but I didn't dare put it down for fear of missing something. Vampirism, feudalism, fascism, feuds, moods, nudes, drams, scams, anagrams, metaphors, paramours and nevermores for most characters. Dark, twisted and completely unforgettable.
