This was a surprisingly slow building mystery novel...which is not usually what I've been trained to think I'm getting when two dudes with swords stand back to back on the cover.
It mostly worked for me and I think most of my problems were getting my brain back into a different generation of fantasy novels.
It's weird to think about style as a feature of contemporary (ish) books, but this book felt very 90s in a way that took a while for me to get back into.
Still fun, still gonna read the rest of them eventually.
