3.5

This was my least favorite in the series so far. While it was a solid adventure book much like the other Saint of Steel series, it felt like more of the same (Broken Paladin falls in love, feels guilty about it) and this book in particular felt like a filler side story as we follow Shane and Marguerite on a side adventure while Galen and Piper are investigating what killed the Saint off page. I really wished we got more movement on the main plot here, but I guess we'll see more of that in book 5.

I did enjoy the ending quite a bit here - this book was less sappy, with higher stakes, and quite a bit more world building than previous books in the series with some interesting implications leading into the next book.
