This series just keeps getting better! I think Piper and Galen were such a lovely pair, and the secret to what was causing the deaths being explored in the beginning was a fun adventure.

I like how this book explored discrimination within this fantasy setting. It made the main characters that much more loveable that they stood up for the underdog.

Hot emo paladin ✅

Pining ✅ 

Since the smooth men were no longer an issue, this book felt like it was lacking some of the depth from the previous two installments.  I did thoroughly enjoy it, especially learning more about gnoles.  Also the allusion to the ancients possibly being from our current timeline (the fabric that melted instead of burning i.e. possibly polyester) was really subtle.  I'm not sure what that means for the overall history of the ancients and their fallen empire/death traps.
