I loved this! Perfect kind of cozy fantasy, with fluffy romance and a mystery (and some severed heads).

This series started out strong, but the quality really went downhill. I think the author noticed it, too, as she has announced not continuing with it.

I understand why this is such a huge book to many people, a modern classic. 
I loved it! Such a dark, tense story, that hooked me in and is going to stay with me for a long time. 
I almost feel like starting it immediately again from the start! A rare happening of that.
