“[…] even when you'd seen a person scorned and beaten and degraded, you could still show them courtesy.”
I thought I’d solved the mystery halfway and then got blown away by one little itsy bitsy tidbit I missed. Love a Marillier twist.
The characters were interesting and I was refreshed to meet them. Blackburn and Grim’s partnership really touched me. Blackburn was a heroine for women and girls and I really adored her for it. My favorite kind of crabby and jaded woman with a heart of gold (so she would deny). I felt so safe whenever Grim’s chapters would come on; he’s just so reliable that I was endeared. I had a good time, if the story was a little actionless at times.
