Serilda and Gold's story is a tragic one, marked by a long history of child death. While nothing in this book is overly graphic, there is so much murder of literal children, that I found it just a tad too much to give this one five stars.

I listen to the audiobook of this one, and it was absolutely phenomenal. Serilda and guild are likable. The ending, while setting the stage for a sequel, is very hopeful and fulfilling. Great story, full of very subtle twists.
