I started [b:Saviours of Oestend|57603011|Saviours of Oestend (Oestend, #2)|Marie Sexton|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1617329021l/57603011._SX50_.jpg|19316453] immediately after reading [b:Song of Oestend|57373201|Song of Oestend (Oestend #1)|Marie Sexton|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1615430094l/57373201._SX50_.jpg|16418515] because I enjoyed it so much. I also love a good redemption story, and Dante was quite the world class asshole in book 1, so I was looking forward to seeing things from his perspective. It was also a welcome surprise to get a Francis side story as well. I loved him from the first book and was excited that he would get more page time as well. The whole story really didn't play out like I expected at all, and I found that wonderful. The characters and couples were refreshingly unusual and unique. It was definitely nothing like what I am used to, but I quite enjoyed the narrative all the same. The entire Oestend adventure was fascinating and delightful to experience.
