I really like how different the three paladins main characters in this series are. I love all of them, even if Galen speaks less to me, but Piper speaks to me more than the other 2 love interests so it balances out, and it really is nitpicking at this point. They're all amazing characters and I love them.
10/10 would read the series again with great pleasure.

The relationship dynamic of this opus of the series was nicely different of the others (yet always a variation of the theme of the broken paladins which I love very much). The prevalence of sex related matters in characters' inner monologue is still bothering me a bit as a personal preference, but it is author's style at this point and as in the others, it did not prevent me from enjoying the relationship and it's development at all. If anything, I even found the first sex scene between them more vivid and interesting the others I've read.

I really liked that the gnoles and society issues related to them were a focus of the book ! Gnoles are awesome.

The last line of the book is pure genius and it is worth everything.
