I really enjoyed this! It introduces a new sorceress and a Saint we haven't seen before, and all the fun conversations and dynamics that implies. Several of the recent novellas have felt very slow - despite being much longer this felt like the story kept moving at a good pace and was enjoyable and engaging the whole time. I appreciated the cameos from various characters we haven't seen lately. The finale was suitably epic and I loved it. Overall, a very good entry in this series.
Moderate: Torture and Murder
Minor: Animal death, Death, Pregnancy, and Deportation
