I really liked this story. The plot is definitely secondary to the character development but does exist. Both the MMC and FMC in this book are a breath of fresh air and build their relationship in a very thorough meaningful way. The side characters are very interesting and active in their interaction with the plot and main characters. The MMC might be the first romance hero I’ve actually thought would make a good book boyfriend.

I’m not usually a fan of stories involving so much pining and denial of feelings. But Stephen and Grace charmed me. Charmed me to my bones. Had me kicking my feet and giggling. 

The resolution of the assassination plot was kinda silly and obvious, but made fresher through how it was handled by The Rat’s people and the paladins. 

Desperately want more of this world.
