First audiobook of the year. Fantastic world building and character development. Storey kept me guessing and I wasn‘t sure what to expect next. Looking forward to the next one in the series.

Assassin solving a murder. LGBT rep. Made my heart twinge just a smidge. Not broken, mind you, but my eyes might have welled up. It‘s not a romance so I can‘t expect an HEA but I still want it! What more do you need to know?

Peach sangria and a burger on the way for dinner before class, plus this e-galley I didn‘t realize was so close to its pub date when I requested it. 😬🤓

This was fantastic. It's a murder mystery set in a fantasy world, with queerness and assassins and secrets and scribes. It moved quickly, and I can't wait for the next book.

conceptDawg As far as I can tell I just need to constantly query what you're reading and read it next. This looks very interesting. Adding to my stack. 5y
