I don't even know how to talk about how amazing the rest of this book was. I knew I was going to like Galen, but I still wasn't expecting to love him this much. And Piper too!!! They were the best match and the cutest and the snarkiest and all around my favorite couple in the series. Only Kingfisher could write a series and have me love each couple more than the last. Piper and Galen have my heart.
This book also had one of the hottest scenes I've had the pleasure of reading, and it wasn't even a smut scene. Listening to the scene in chapter 20 where Galen and Pipe are pressed together getting through the blade trap, and Galen keeps Piper distracted by murmuring potentially suggestive things and kissing the back of his neck. Like they are in an absolutely perilous situation and yet somehow the two of them are just oozing sexual tension. In the words of T Kingfisher herself, that scene made *me* want to howl like a dog. And then the follow up in chapter 21 where after getting a great blow job from Piper, Galen gives him the hottest reach around known to man. As in they are sitting on the floor, and Galen has Piper basically in his lap, Piper's back to his chest, and he reaches around and gets him off and oh my GOD. God help me, a position like that has ALWAYS made me hot and bothered, but after the rocketing tension from the chapter before??? Whew boy 🥵🫠
I cannot believe I waited as long as I did to read these books. I don't know if I will ever be able to stop talking about them. I want and need everyone to read them so I can discuss them in perpetuity forever.

The characters were truly the highlight of every book, and Piper, Galen, and Earstripe were no exception. Okay, I'm gonna be so honest right now - any time a gnole was on the page, they stole the show. I loved every single one, and I'd love to see a story from their perspective one day! Brindle and Earstripe story when?!? Give them their oxen!
Okay I'm done. Read this series!
