reviewed The Beautiful Decay by Veo Corva (Tombtown, #2)

Veo Corva: The Beautiful Decay (EBook, 2023, Witch Key Fiction)

Something strange is happening in sleepy subterranean Tombtown. Necromancers are disappearing. The crypt is changing. …

Shroomies of doom, skelets and recovering from past traumas with friends

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
