Swordheart by T. Kingfisher

Content warning: suicidal ideation, violence/gory, threat of forced marriage & pregnancy
I thought the concept was interesting, and the ending lends itself to a possible sequel in the future. I did enjoy seeing more of how the White Rat operates outside of the context with the paladins. It’s pretty similar to the Saint of Steel series, and most of my criticisms from that series could apply to this book. If you plan to check out any books in the White Rat universe, I would probably suggest to space them out, otherwise they get pretty repetitive—although, I haven’t read the Clocktaur books so here’s to hoping they’re a little different? Overall, I still enjoyed it, and will be reading the last two currently available in the universe…just maybe in a month or two.
