Ok Camp Savage is screaming along at a chapter a week (rates I haven't hit since I was living alone at the height of the pandemic!!!) but I think half of it is that I want to get back to the Orion prequel so so bad. Like I respect women too much to make them truly pathetic (a flaw I will rectify) but boy am I going to take that man and hold his head underwater from the age of 16 to 36. He deserves it π

SYNOPSIS:
Death is Both an End and a Beginning.
On the island city of Lenorum, Maeve serves the Sisterhood of Good Death, a convent whose purpose is to shepherd lost souls from one world to the next. But her life of devotion to the unquiet dead is upended by an encounter with the haughty poet Imogen Madrigal, who has mysteriously returned from beyond the veil not in spirit, but in the flesh--and determined to obtain justice, whatever the cost. Maeve agrees to help Imogen solve her murder, which propels her headlong into the hedonistic and heretical world of the extravagant and influential Poets' Court.
THE UNTIMELY UNDEATH OF IMOGEN MADRIGAL delivers a metaphysical mystery in the richly imagined, darkly fantastic and urbane world of Lenorum, as Maeve comes to terms with her own path and learns what living a good life truly means.

MY REVIEW:
I loved this book. I wish I had gotten to read it at a better time. I've been reading this book through my finals, which made the experience a bit tedious.
Anyway! I thought the characters were well thought out; each one had their own problems, and this book didnβt make the main character seem like a saint or anything, or someone who was impervious to trauma and the real world. The author also didnβt make the character afraid of the world, considering their background, in an annoying way. She had fears; she voiced them, but she went through it afraid, was on her toes, and handled each situation. I thought the middle ground between being stupidly brave and fearful was well written, and Maeve wasn't too much of either. Each character had an interesting backstory that gave them amazing depth, and no one was two-dimensional.
Maeve and Imogeneβs relationship wasnβt toxic! They helped each other without being codependent; they learned from each other; they had their problems, but they talked them through. I do wish we got to see how Maeve navigated her relationship with certain characters (you know who Iβm talking about), and seeing more of Maeveβs sisters and their interactions would be nice. I also really wanted to know more about Imogen and the other sisters backstories and experiences, as well as that one character I mentioned above (I hope you know who Iβm talking about). I want to know more about what happened to them in general, considering their conflict and how they got to be okay with everything. But other than that, I give it 4.5 stars, and I will be buying the hardcover copy of the book.
The world described was amazing, It was very clear that the author put a lot of thought into how it should work. The explanations weren't annoying either. To me, the book never dragged on and on, which is very much appreciated as someone who doesn't have a great attention span. I loved the lessons that the book discussed, like how it's okay to go for what you want and to cherish what you've got; how change is a part of life and it must be embraced; how judging people isn't okay even if the person in front of you is your worst enemy; and never be afraid and when you are, do it afraid.
What's the point in being a Sister of Good Death if you're not even going to fuck an undead poet on her own grave?

I expressed embarrassment over this art when I posted it on Instagram; I will speak my truth on Tumblr and say I am unashamed of drag queen Orion Cantor and her ahistorical fall-front boxer briefs.
