Wayward Saint by J.S. Morin
4.0
Esper and Kubu are the most interesting mercenaries I’ve come across in a while. They’ve got big hearts and an unconventional approach. Yet there is much more to meets the eye than just a pretty girl and her dog. Instead of guns and explosives, Esper and Kubu rely on their wits, some magic, and sheer determination to get the job done.
The story is clever and moves quickly, and the characters are interesting and nuanced. Its definitely a fast read and I’m very much looking forward to the next installment.
I originally read the Black Ocean Mission Pack 1, and found this story easy to follow. As a spin-off, the background of the technology, magic, and culture isn’t very well explained, but I think a reader will be happy with this story if they’re not familiar to the setting.
