Less satisfying than the previous book
I started these books in the wrong order. Before this series I read The King's Justice which made me curious about Stanton's back story. He first appears in this book, possibly starting as an even less likable character than he does in The King's Justice. I think the cycle of growth and fall and re-growth of his character is interesting but there was something about this book that I just found boring. It was also entirely predictable whereas the others have had a more intricate plot (The King's Justice) or better pacing (Thr Fifth Knight).
I'm not bothered about reading the last book of this series but I might give the second book of the next series a go.

4,5 stars
I haven’t read the first book and while this works as stand-alone, I wish I had read the previous book. I think there’s lot more to Benedict and Theodosia’s tale than we learn here.
While Henry’s relationship with Rosamund isn’t new to me it was still interesting to read. For me Rosamund’s portrayal was nice change from what I’ve usually read about her. Which is logical considering that Henry was quite older than she… Geoffrey was also very interesting because most times he’s very minor character and I liked reading more about him.
I liked the relationship between Benedict and Theodosia; they’re very loyal and committed to each other. I really wish I had read the first book because I’m curious to know how they met.
I’m very bad with mysteries but I did not see who the villain was. I was so sure I knew who it was but I was totally wrong!
I loved this book and I have to read the first book soon!
