The Assassin's Curse by Lindsay Buroker

4.0

Now this was an excellent short story! I’ve never enjoyed short stories much but here the plot was well developed and so where the characters (which have always been Buroker’s strongest point). I think this is more a novella than a short story, which might explain why it is so well crafted.

The story features Amaranthe & Sicarius getting into trouble yet again to prevent wrongdoing against the Empire. Action, Investigation, cursed island, humour: this story has it all. A very satisfying read, especially now that the series has come to an end and there will be no further instalments!
