I cried my eyes out towards the end. Based on what I've read from this author before, I wasn't expecting that at all. Overall, I prefer the vibes of the first book.

At some point, I'll have to read the whole Temple of the White Rat books in the proper order (I started with the Saint of Steel trilogy, then this duology, and now I'm about to read Swordheart). (I was also disappointed that the White Rat Temple was so little mentioned here.) I think that will definitely improve my experience.

How can I describe the absolute love and outpouring emotions I feel towards the Clocktaur wars series? I'll start off that the deconstruction of the paladin Troupe and the amount of world building here was just phenomenal! There were all kinds of characters that had their own motives and personalities that shone with uniqueness and charm, especially Brenner. And from that sentence alone, you can see how much I was devastated from his death. 

I didn't expect to grow so attached to these 5 characters in just two books. Absolutely crazy. I think T Kingfisher just cemented herself as one of my favorite authors. 

God I love clocktaur wars.....

4.75 / 5 A
