It has a lot to work on, I’ll admit it. However, the murder mystery entwined with the fantasy was such a pleasant surprise. I had such a good time with it. While it did lag here and there, it quickly grabbed my attention back. Not the best, not perfect, but quite enjoyable and has me intrigued about the rest of the series.

In The Justice of Kings, a man representing the Emperor's Justice and his team investigate the murder of a provincial aristocrat and uncover a broader conspiracy. The magic is creepy, set against an ominous setting. Action scenes are realistically gory and tense. The pacing of this novel is slow, which is appropriate as it relates to the investigation, but scenes involving politics are dull since they are explained to the reader and not seen. Recommended for epic fantasy lovers who enjoy investigative stories with underlying politics.

Pretty interesting. I liked the mystery but it was hard for me to follow the politics stuff. The narration is being told as a story which made it hard to get into the chatacters.
