Something strange is happening in sleepy subterranean Tombtown. Necromancers are disappearing. The crypt is changing. And crimson fungi are spreading.

Usther is seeking purpose, so when the goddess of undying calls on her to investigate an unknown threat to the crypt, she jumps at the chance. She is lost and lonely and determined to do something.

Ree is searching for her missing mentor. An archivist and shapeshifter, she knows the crypt better than anyone, but she soon discovers that it is fast becoming unfamiliar to her—and dangerous to everyone she loves.

For Tombtown to survive, Usther and Ree will have to face nightmarish mushrooms, self-righteous paladins, and their own traumatic pasts. Because whatever is happening has something to do with the traitorous friend they've both been trying to forget for eight years.

I enjoyed skipping sleeping time to munch chapters of this book, which is a good sign already.

Characters from the pash book are coming back. They have grown, and time let their mark on them all. The themes are grim, even more than in the previous book I feel. But everybody is trying their best for their friends and relative. Small moments of care are depicted along very epic ones. Also there's queerness everywhere in the open. I believe it's the first time I read a fiction with a plural character?

The authors keep succeeding in making necromancers denizen humans and relatable, this is so good.

also there are skelets and spooky stuff and some well timed goofyness
