Simultaneously THE ABSOLUTE SHIT and a little problematic. I have a weak spot for ol' Joe and I am so happy to be back in The First Law. Monza is the Grand Duchess of my heart.

I basically hated most of the characters in this book. Especially the main character but damn Joe can write well. I badly wanted to see how this was going to end
