He’s a paladin of a dead god, tracking a
supernatural killer across a continent. She’s a nun from a secretive
order, on the trail of the raiders who burned her convent and kidnapped
her sisters.
When their paths cross at the point of a sword,
Istvhan and Clara will be pitched headlong into each other’s quests,
facing off against enemies both living and dead. But Clara has a secret
that could jeopardize the growing trust between them, a secret that will
lead them to the gladiatorial pits of a corrupt city, and beyond...
- From Goodreads.
This was as equally delightful as the first Saint of Steel book. T. Kingfisher has a wonderfully funny writing style and a great skill at writing characters who are full of personality and life.
I really adored the romance in this story, both Clara and Istvhan were so endearing, even when they were at their most awkward and felt like they were messing things up. They were both so thoughtful and caring and it was lovely to see them realise their feelings for each other and to see them work together and look out for each other.
It was thrilling following the mystery set up in the first book and to see how it came to a conclusion, I think it was very clever and unique and I am curious to see what mysteries will unfold in the next books!
I'm really enjoying this series so far, and I'm excited to see how it continues, what new characters we'll meet and where the storyline will go. I think T. Kingfisher has built a very fascinating world with plenty of room to explore so it will be fun to find out more about it.
