There are so quibbles I have with the misogyny, sexism, classism, otherisms, etc. but it is appropriate to the setting so I don't find myself deterred from the series because of it.

Right from the first chapter I loved Hadrian and Royce. Sullivan is so great at creating characters that are easy to get invested in.
Very excited to continue with this series and then on to Chronicles, so I can finally get to Nolyn!

This is swords and sorcery with a heavy emphasis on swords, and while it doesn't quite rank as a favorite for me, it has likeable characters and made me laugh many times. I definitely plan to finish the main series, and may even tackles the prequel/sides series' after that.
Moderate: Death and Murder
Minor: Sexual content
