I've had my eye on this series for a while now, but only just got around to starting it. Quick review: I devoured this book. I liked the world-building and found the characters rather refreshing. Alex is not snarky, or especially witty - just your average girl with an unusual talent who finds herself in unusual circumstances. Although this trope has been done to the death in UF, it was still particularly well-done here. 
 While I enjoyed the mythology, I would've liked a bit more background/explanation into how exactly the magic of the world and grave witches worked. It wasn't particularly clear to me, so the imagery of the climax scenes was rather lost on me. 
 Finally, one thing that didn't work for me was this hint of a future love triangle. Death's declaration of love rang hollow, and this insta-feelings for and from Falin didn't work neither. NOT looking forward to its development. 
 What I AM looking forward to though, is the rest of the series, and it's been a long while since I've been able to say that for an Urban Fantasy book. I'm excited; it feels good to be back.
