This romantic pairing is, so far, the least convincing one that kingfisher has written (for me). I really like slate and I do like caliban too (although since I read the paladin series and then this in quick succession, maybe I need a break from paladins) but I would have rather that they just got on with the whole suicide mission part without craving each others bodies quite so much.

Because we could not resist the blurb "A paladin, an assassin, a forger, and a scholar ride out of town. It’s not the start of a joke, but rather an espionage mission with deadly serious stakes." It delivered in both tone and content, with a side of romance. Warning: this is about the first third of the story, and the rest is in The Wonder Engine.

This is the first of the White Rat books and I think it shows a little. The world just doesn't quite feel as big and complete as it does in some of the later books. The gnoles don't feel quite as gnolish. And Brenner is really annoying. But still loved spending time in the world.
