T. Kingfisher wrote yet another excellent addition to the World of the White Rat. Paladin’s Faith is the fourth book in the Saint of Steel series. The main couple in this volume is Marguerite, spy and friend/employer of Grace in Paladin’s Grace, and Shane, paladin of the dead god and failed acolyte of the Dreaming God. Marguerite is being targeted for assassination and is provided Shane and Wren, another paladin of the Saint of Steel, as protection and assistance on her latest mission.
There are a lot of moving parts in this story, which work together very well. There is humor and creepiness and yearning. New predators are introduced, and at least a couple of new characters who I hope show up in future books.
It is engrossing, fun, at times creepy, and romantic. I love Marguerite and Wren (really looking forward to Wren’s book). I must note that the beheading aspect of Kingfisher’s romances is down to only 1 in this installment. My complaint about Paladin’s Faith is that there are no gnoles. I felt their absence. Still, I’ve loved every book that has taken place in the World of the White Rat, and Paladin’s Faith adds to that number.
