I just love this series. The author's humor and pacing, with the narrator's excellent array of character voices just hooks me every time.
Istvhan was such a fun and interesting character from the first book that I was looking forward to seeing his romance play out. Clara makes for an excellent pairing given her wit and demeanor which creates an environment for their antics and banter to flourish. All the while some pretty serious plot stuff with violence, loss, and coping strategies takes main stage.
I cannot praise enough that we have two MATURE characters to follow, both in age and in mentality! As I grow weary of YA fantasy and the forever 16-20something characters, T. Kingfishers books have been the respite I've needed.
If you need a good mystery, some solid action, charming banter, emotional connection, and some unabashed lust you've picked up the right book.
Spice: 3.5/5 🌶️
