I loved this - This is the sort of book you luxuriate in. Flett juggles a large ensemble cast incorporating multiple point of view characters, giving each their own humour, rhythm, and humanity. Flett lets her characters be weird and flawed and magical in a way I've seen with few other authors, and the narrative voice has a close, conversational style which puts me in mind of Stephen Graham Jones.
I have so much more to say, but I don't want to spoil anything - So suffice to say that I love it, I love it, I love it, now go out and read this grimy, messy gem of a book!
