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.

wilybooklover's review

5.0

Funny, warm, and creepy in equal measures, just like the other books in this series. I really enjoyed the plot of this one. I’m not going to spoil it because I think it’s better to go into it not knowing anything, but it was such a page-turner. I am more intrigued by the gnoles than ever after finding out more about their culture. 

Galen made some pretty boneheaded decisions (seems to be a paladin thing) but it did lead to some great moments, so I can’t be too mad. His romance with Piper was very sweet and adorably awkward. 

I think Piper is my favourite main character so far in this series and Earstripe the gnole was just delightful. I can’t wait for Shane and Marguerite’s book!

After their introductions in the other two books, I hoped either Galen or Piper would get their own book. Them getting their own book together was everything I could have hoped for.
