Found family where I loved all my kids so much. Love it when T Kingfisher slips in the horror too. Also the romance? This is the first book of hers I have read where it is more prevalent and yeah I’m excited for her full on romantasy series.

I loved it. It is really funny, has an excellent slow burn romance and an genuinely interesting plot. The story contains a sarcastic assassin, who has a never ending amount of knives, a paladin ,who is exactly how I love my paladins, a big golden retriever with approximately two braincells, a young monk who is completely clueless about women and most things in life honestly, a lockpicking forger on the run for her past and of course the gnoles. O, the gnoles, I loved them so much. They are all on a mission to find out the truth about the clocktaurs and it's just excellent. I am not going into the plot because I don't want to spoil anything so let's just say it made me feel a lot.
