Ch 16:

After that, entirely by accident, they ended up in a library.
The Citadel was a study in opulence, dripping excess in every corner, but this was the room that really made Lore‘s jaw drop. The library had three levels, all of them visible from the bottom floor—balconies ringed the walls, accessible by small, polished-wood staircases set into the shelves. All three levels were filled to bursting with books, ⬇️

“There‘s got to be buckets of gold in here,” Lore breathed. “Do you know how expensive books are?”
“I do.” A scowl darkened Gabe‘s face. “All that money, and hardly anyone here reads.”
“No one, really? What a waste.” 1w

Anton‘s bright eyes tracked to Lore and the Night Priestess. “I‘m still owed a village,” he said, almost irritated, as if he didn‘t have a knife to his throat. 1w

Ch 5:

Gabriel snorted. “The peerage likes to do just enough to think they‘re helping without inconveniencing themselves. What‘s in fashion moves fast, and it‘s easier to donate clothes you wouldn‘t be caught dead in after a season than it is to keep them in storage.”
Her brow arched. There was a low poison in Gabriel‘s voice, made more potent by the way he tried to hide it. “You seem to know the court well.”

A long pause. Gabriel shifted uncomfortably, his impressive shoulders inching toward his ears. “Better than I‘d like,” he said finally. 2w

The first couple of (establishing) chapters are slow to take off but then (I'm up to chapter 9) it gets addictive.

Lore can feel death but can also use its power but, as a necromancer, could be put to death if she's discovered. She acts as a spy for poison-runners; people in the Auverraini capital of Dellaire use poison to get to just the edge of death for the power of extending their lives - but it comes at a price.

I really enjoyed the world of this book, the dead and missing gods and the way the magic worked—primarily, controlling (or at least trying to control) the essence of death. I felt at a remove from the POV character much of the time, since it was clear she was hiding information about her own past, even from the reader, but that didn‘t annoy me too much since she was also trying to keep it from herself. I loved the twisty plot.
