This one might be my second favorite (after king of attolia). Kamet and Costis are ridiculously lovable. this book very much gives “the thief” (book 1) but better and more proficiently written. It also brings up some poignant questions the similarities and differences between slave and soldier.
It’s been amazing seeing Costis from another perspective as well. In this book we really get to see his charismatic, competent, authoritative, good-hearted nature. Kamet is also wonderful to psychoanalyze. His character is so fully developed and so distinct from any other character we’ve seen this far.
Also, I don’t know if this is just me, but once you start reading with idea that it is a romance, its very easy to see it as such. I know they are probably just very good friends though
This book is also a very good set up for theupcoming war (?) with the Mede. Very excited to read the last (💔💔💔) book in the series!
