I am continuing to like these books. There was nothing like super amazing yet but they are just thoroughly enjoyable.
I had a little bit of a harder time getting into this one probably because there wasn't a terribly exciting hook in the beginning and I also thought the humor did not quite land as much as in the last book.
Turns out though that this was probably more of a setup book because we got lots of development towards the overaching plot which was very compelling and also again some nice bits of worldbuilding tied in to European history.
I especially thought that the ending was very exciting and we got a plot twist that I did not see coming.
