I like a good book that is short and straight to the point. There wasn't a wasted sentence, conversation or event. You got all the information you needed plus some while still enjoying the book and loving the characters. It's authors and books like this that go to show you don't need 600 pages to write a good story

Very interesting
I really liked this, though it felt like I was running to catch up to the plot a few times - or at least what leads up to the plot. The author does pause to explain this quite a bit, moments that actually flowed well with the narrative, but it still almost missed a full foundational setting. That said, this is an intriguing urban fantasy that moves at an incredible pace.

Reads a bit like a rough draft...the story line has potential and is entertaining, but it needs to be fleshed out. Not terrible, especially for an indie book.

The cover makes me mad. This chick is bad ass and tough and working in a male dominated industry full of sexist comments and assumptions.
When one man says she doesn’t have the right equipment to be a knight, she replies,
“Pray tell, when was the last time any of your knights completed a quest using his penis?”
And she specifically says:
“I offered an exaggerated bow instead. Alas, there’d be no cleavage on display even if I were so inclined—which I most definitely wasn’t. The design of my uniform was similar to a scuba suit. It was fairly asexual as far as uniforms went, which suited me just fine.”
And the cover is tone deaf to all of that.
*rant over*
This story was fun. The characters are fun and quirky. The world is interesting and well done, though I had trouble picturing no daylight. And the plot was paced well with some interesting turns. Not too complex but not too simple.
The author’s strengths are in creating relatable female characters. The men are a bit one dimensional but that’s ok.
Lots of fun. Some flirting but this is not a romance. It’s a fun story about a knightly quest.

A great urban fantasy. A fun mystery. Kick-ass heroine and characters. Possible romance, but at this time; action, adventure, and kicking butt.
Rated: 4 Stars

What a fun read
This book had it all - mystery, secrets, a kickb*** heroine, a dashing male lead and some laughs. I really enjoyed it and very much look forward to book 2.

This was a good start to a series. I am hoping that book 2 goes a bit smoother, which is normally the case at the beginning of a series.

I really appreciate what this book set out to accomplish. We had a competent female lead who knew how to do her job. I also appreciated that her banner of female knights were supportive and had each other’s backs without it being cheesy or a plot twist. Good female friendships in groups are truly hard to find in fantasy, so thank you Chase for making sure this series celebrates that and makes it a vital aspect of the entire series. The romance is slow burn with banter. I’ll leave a review of the overall series in the last book
