Excellent characters in a fascinating universe. Strongly reminiscent of Bujold’s Chalion books.

The presence of a character weak enough to bargain with a demon but yet noble enough to offer his own death as a battle tactic was extremely annoying.

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
