I recently read my first T. Kingfisher book and fell in love with it. I wanted to read more of this authors book and me and a couple of friends decided to buddy read this one together. While I did enjoy this one I didn't love it as much as the first book I read by this author which was Swordheart. 

This is a fantasy with a quest and we meet a lot of great characters along the way. I will say this book throws you straight in from the beginning and it can be a bit confusing at times but I say stick it out. It's a fairly simple plot line but for me I love a good easy plot when it comes to fantasy because there's not a whole lot you need to keep up with. I would have liked the magic to have been explained a little bit and I personally would have liked a little bit more of the romance but that's a personal preference. I know that a lot of people prefer not to have a whole lot of romance in their fantasy and if that's the case then I would say this is definitely for you. 

There were moments that had me laughing out loud but there were also some harder topics talked about but it's done in a vague way but I will still say to look for triggers if you are easily trigger by certain topics. Overall I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to read more if this authors backlist.
