I really loved the lore and magic of this world. I'm not sure how I feel about the relationship between Roz and Damian. I think I would have liked the relationship between them to have been a little bit of a slower burn, just considering all of their history. I also came away from it wanting more time spent on certain aspects. But it definitely kept me interested and I am looking forward to picking up the second book.

Gave this one another shot after soft dnf'ing it in october last year...and in the words of Taylor Swift "It was unnecessary, should've let it stay buried"
Start to finish this just didn't work for me. I kept waiting for the story to pick up pace, I kept waiting for the characters to become actually interesting, but aside from lots of daddy issues I got nothing. The relationship didn't do much for me either.
It just was a lot of meh.
I'm not even bothering to pretend like I care for the sequel.

Roz Lacertosa has been devastated since her father was killed on the battlefield. It made her want to rebel against the system that put him in the war, by using her powers as a disciple of Patience. Damian Venturi is the captain of security at the Palazzo, which houses disciples of the seven saints. When the disciple of Death is found murdered, Damian is asked to investigate by himself, but he ends up teaming up with his childhood friend Roz. Roz is also investigating some strange murders outside of the Palazzo. They notice similarities between the murders, but as they search for answers, they discover dark secrets that put their whole world in danger.
This book was a thrilling murder mystery. It was fast paced and intense. Roz and Damian were in opposing positions. Roz was a disciple of Patience, but she resented her powers because it was the people in charge of the disciples who killed her father. Damian had not been chosen by the saints as a disciple, so he was considered one of the unfavored in society. While Roz resented her powers, Damian wished he had them. The story ended on a bit of a cliffhanger so I’m excited to read the sequel!
Seven Faceless Saints is a thrilling fantasy!
