This was a perfect read to satisfy my missing for Celeana Sardothien.
The main character is part of king's guard but not just any kind of king's guard. These guards are pretty much demons and they basically work as swords for hire except the king is only one bold enough to hire them.
I like that there were two very different love interest. Honestly I'm not sure if one of them could even be considered as a love interest, he seemed more like a toxic work friend who just won't stop harassing you and reading the scenes where he was present always made me sick. But the relationship between the two really brought some depth to her story.
I have started to appreciate these kinds of retellings of old fairytales. This one is clearly about Little Red Riding Hood but also it kind of reminds me of some aspects of Hansel and Gretel. Also the author was inspired by the story of The Girl Without Hands but I have never heard of it before.
