I had trouble getting into this book, and I’m not sure why that is. I think I expected it to be leaning more on the mystery-side of things when it came to the plot but instead, there was more of an adventure/action focus. That’s totally fine, but not my cup of tea. And since this is a smaller book, we didn’t get into plot too much that I wanted, we mainly went scene to scene with action. I would’ve enjoyed more time to get to know the characters at a deeper level. Open to reading more of Deanna Raybourn, I enjoyed this book for its writing style and how lighthearted things were, but I’m not sure I’ll explore other stories similar to this one (if she writes more like this).

Loved the concept of this book, but not the biggest fan of the execution. Which is super unfortunate 😕

As a Quaker and a pacifist, I never thought I could love a book about murder so much…but these assassins crept their way into my heart!
