This work is lurid, disturbing, and absolutely fascinating. This work is the type of book I wanted to immediately talk about, for the cleverness, crudeness, and for how bizarre it is. The story is a mixture of sexually expressive bird demigods trying to dethrone a corrupt Crow God, and a fisherman determined to awaken his beloved at any cost on the Isle of the Dead and the ruckus that transpired was an intriguing story.
