I liked this book, but there were moments when I would have rather seen the characters interacting with each other than descriptions of the settings and the history behind them.
I was really interested in the dynamic between the two thieves and the book didn’t disappoint. Hadrian and Royce work as a team on jobs and I really liked their relationship. They were loyal to each other and there were some funny moments with their interactions, although I would have wanted to see more.
The plot is that Hadrian and Royce are framed for killing the king but manage to escape with the help of someone who demands that they do something in return for them. The favour means that a lot of things happen, and I liked seeing how Hadrian and Royce figured things out.
I liked the other characters too, like Alric, although I wanted to see more of the characters interactions when they were travelling. I thought that Myron was interesting to read about too, but he’s not a big part of the book.
While this book is about humans, there are other creatures mentioned. I would be interested in finding out more about dwarves and especially the elves.
While this series isn’t a priority read, I wouldn’t be opposed to continuing. My main problem was that the proportion of descriptions and history of the lands compared to the amount of conversations wasn’t for me. However, I would be interested in learning more about Hadrian and Royce –is Hadrian somehow magical because of his sword fighting skills or has he just been trained well? Royce is a private person and I’m curious what he’s hiding – I think he could have some elf blood in him.
