Okay I don't know what kind of story I expected knowing that T. Kingfisher is mostly well known for their works in the Horror genre. But this book was not only unexpectedly funny, but so adorable and had just the best writing!
I liked that all the Paladins were this group of friends that always had each other's backs, but they're also so silly with each other and honestly, goofballs. Which is surprising for a religious order thats meant to be very prim and upright because their sense of humour is amazing (im looking at you Istvhan)
Aside from that, I liked the romance between Grace and Stephen and they're genuinely the cutest couple ever! I haven't read much romances where it's an much older couple (Grace is 34 and Stephen is 37?) And I need to read more like that. Stephens internal monologue and his gentle giant demeanour with Grace whos just always panicking about doing the wrong thing is an adorable combination!!
Also, the main storyline was following a mysterious case of beheadings and I really liked that even with the gentle writing and romance, when T. Kingfisher writes about anything related to those murders, it sent a jolt of fear through me because woah, I wasnt expecting that but their descriptions were still quite spooky and blended really well with the story in the end.
