The third in the Saint of Steel Series, now focusing on Piper and Galen, the book dives into the deeper mysteries of the lost civilization.
Kingfisher returns to what she does best, two characters with immediate chemistry in a will they/won’t they slow burn (obviously they will). There was a lot more intrigue and a lot fewer answers in this one, which made it a little slower going than the last two, but it was still engaging. Kingfisher does a great job of giving just enough information explaining everything. It leaves the reader with a sense that the world is fully realized and the answers are out there, the characters just haven’t found them yet.
Overall it’s got a strong, well-developed plot, with endearing characters. If you want a fantasy romance where the plot isn’t just there to get to the spice, I’d highly recommend this series.
