"What if she kills you, Boss?" called Galen.
Then either avenge me or put her in charge. Your choice.”
T kingfishers humor just brings me so much joy and fun in books. I'm still just loving that there was a mention of a demonic chicken in this book after my experience with nettle and bone.
This is a sequel to Paladins Grace but now follows Paladin Istvhan and a nun named Clara. Clara has been separated from her other sisters after some raiders kidnapped them and is on a quest to save them.
Kingfishers writing style and character dialogue is where her books shine. She makes such wonderfully loveable flawed characters that I never want to leave them. The humor in these books is so natural and never feels forced.
I will continue to read any Fantasy T Kingfisher writes its wonderful. I haven't yet dipped my toes into his horror genre but I have complete faith in her skills.

I loved this, even more than Paladin's Grace. I can't say too much about the plot without giving spoilers but the FMC is a nun following her sisters who have been abducted, and the MMC is a Paladin who helps her on the quest. FMC is overal large and very tall and MMC is even bigger. It's definitely a slow burn as they're both clearly attracted to each other but have reason to think the other doesn't want them, and even when they do both make their attraction clear, they keep getting interrupted, which was somewhat frustrating as a reader but made it even sweeter when they did get together.
The overall plot and worldbuilding is really excellent. There is a lot going on, action and adventure. I was really invested in their relationship but also massively invested in the main storyline and how they could solve the mystery set up in the first book. I also liked a lot of the side characters, especially Doc Mason and his comments about “canoodling”.

The writing style is pleasant, and a fantasy romance with characters older than 20 is always a nice change of pace. The first half is slow, but it picks up halfway through; I prefer the first book in the series over this one.
