The Thirteenth House by Sharon Shinn

I can't put this down!
I've read 2 books so far, but they both felt unfinished. The end of the books are about the "resolution" of the romantic intrigue whether positively or not, but even then it feels uncertain and leaves me kind of unsatisfied.
All that said, I really enjoy reading this serie. We found ourselves at the beginning of a war, different people with different motivations are making alliances to get rid of the king.
In the first book, the group investigated where the unrest was coming from and its reason.
In the second book, they were protecting the princess and the regent from any assassination attempts.
I can't say there is no action, the characters find themselves in position where they are in danger and they have to defend themselves but these books are more character driven. So far, we always found the same group of characters but with different POVs. In the 1st book, the POVs are Senneth and Tayse, the 2nd book Kirra, the 3rd Justin and the 4th Cammon (I checked).
I really like all of them, even if I didn't agree with some of Kirra's choices in this book. I can't wait to find out what Cammon can do and see Justin fall in love (it's bound to happen and it'll be quite fun to watch).
Anyway, I'm not sure this serie is for everyone because it feels slow sometimes but I like it enough so far :)
