Some things in this book happen by chance, like
Magic is common in this setting. The magic that really digs into the plot is a bit horrifying.

Grace's husband is a piece of work. This is the source of the toxic relationship, infidelity, and panic attack tags. The horrible smooth men are the source of the body horror and gore tags. A young man has been pressured or brainwashed into making a really bad,alexijai98's review against another edition

The things that kept this from a 4 star read for me are just some simple style choices. The inner monologue, while oftentimes funny, sometimes was a bit too much talking to themselves. Also the poisoning plot and the beheading plot together felt like a lot going on.
Kingfisher drops lots of breadcrumbs for the rest of the series, and I'm excited to get to it.

Seriously, though. I loved the two main characters and several of the secondary characters. I can't wait to read the second and third books.
But I do have a question that may never be answered. How did Stephen's god die? Maybe that question will eventually be answered.
