Stephen's god died a little after noon on the longest day of the year.

With a compelling opening line like that how could I not have a good time reading this book?

To be honest, it kinda similar to The Clockwork boys/The Wonder Engine and Swordheart in that they feature a competent female protagonist in her 30s and a tortured soul of a male paladin(-esque) love interest nearing 40 (+/- a few hundred years), but what can I say beyond I apparently love the trope?  It isn't even that unexpected since it's the same author.

Also worth note is that our non-binary friend/lawyer Zale makes an appearance as well as a few other known entities from the world of the White Rat.

My quest to read all the things written under the T. Kingfisher pseudonym continues.
