riverofhorton's review against another edition
Had to stop reading this. The main character, Logan is too much of a toxic person for me to be able to tolerate right now.

brims's review against another edition

This was just okay. I didn’t like it nearly as much as I hoped. The humor didn’t quite land for me - it’s full of juvenile behavior and quippy one-liners that were more eye-rolly than funny. My biggest problem however was with the countess. Her constant sexual harassment of the male characters was treated as a silly antic and handwaved away. I found it genuinely uncomfortable to read, and I think it’s what ultimately ruined the book for me. A pity, because she would have been a great character otherwise.
The things that did work for me worked well enough I suppose, though I still felt like I had one foot out the door the entire time. I liked the established relationship and age diversity of the characters - very refreshing! - and the overall feeling of warmth and vibrancy that flows through the text. Despite the problems, I think the author shows some promise, and I’ll be keeping an eye out for whatever comes next.

It's fun, it's kinda cosy, it had adventure husbands and pirate wives and a not a complete asshole (and she's justified when she is) ex-wife and a pervy older female necromancer and a solid plot
And unicorns!
And unicorns!
