How good is House of Dusk, you may ask? I’d say it’s pretty dang good!
Fire-wielding nuns in a queer normative world? Say less!
Yearning and banter that will have you giggling? Yes please!
This is an epic fantasy for those who loved Vespertine and The Merciful Crow – with death magic, gods, and faith at its centre.
