THE PALADINS ARE ADORABLE AND I LOVE THEM. This was a good book I wish the fandom was bigger.

An interesting fantasy romance which had some laugh out loud sentences. Both the main characters have self-esteem issues and don't think that anyone could be with them because (insert flaws here).  The first half is light, sweet and witty. The last half was more adventurous, mystery-thriller with a happy ending.

T Kingfisher has truly solidified herself as one of my favorite authors. I have been in a book slump since August, managing to start very little, never mind actually finishing. But listening to the Paladin's Grace audio on my new long commutes has been a breath of fresh air. I was excited to get into the car and go to work so I could listen to more. And I was just as excited to leave for the day and get more of this story.

I loved everything about this book from start to finish. The characters were funny and broken and compelling. The story itself was fascinating, full of twists and surprises I wouldn't have expected. Stephen and Grace were such a perfectly awkward matched and reading their romance was such a joy.

I truly cannot wait to pick up the next book in this series. And shout out to the audiobook narrator, he was really amazing!!
