I love the worlds that P. Djèli Clark creates & this one was no exception. A dark fantasy with plenty of humour, our MC is an assassin of the dead cat tail assassin guild, & her night - which begins with the accepting of a contract to “shiv” someone during carnival, is about to go extremely sideways.
I hope we get to meet Eveen again, I‘d love to see her discover more about her past & to rebuild her destroyed book collection of heroic tales.
