Oh this was good. This was very good. The characters were so vibrant and complex yet thoroughly explored. The author tells you enough about the world and the magic to get you hooked, but leaves you with so many unanswered questions. Not in a frustrating way, but more in a way that keeps you wanting more.

The case is complicated to the point where I didn’t figure it all out but we’re given enough clues that by the end I was left feeling a little clever for picking up on some things, while also being shocked by the big reveals. This was the first murder mystery I’ve read but in my unqualified opinion it was very well done.

I will absolutely pick up the next book in the series as soon as it’s released.

3.5 - overall really cool story I sometimes lost track of which storyline was for which person but that's mostly because I'm an idiot and generally not used to books where I have to follow multiple storylines and I'm an idiot. Still really enjoyed this.

Very fun premise with some funny characters. Good set up for a series and I’ll for sure be continuing it. I love that all the characters have these big secrets that the others don’t know about (aside from one who knows everything) and I’m excited to see when and how the reveals go down.

This was a great quick read. I read this story twice now and it was even better on a reread. There were a lot of hints at what was to come hidden all along the way that I totally missed the first time around. The end surprised me and cracked my heart just a little bit but in a good way? Thank you?

This is a great introduction to the world Andrew Watson has created and I am very excited to get to Harbinger of Justice. I enjoyed getting to know these characters and I don’t know if anyone is going to carry over from this story into the next but I’m curious to find out! Looking forward to more from this author!

Loved it loved it loved it. A beautiful somber telling of a brutal war and also of family and of love. I didn’t know that I wanted to learn this much more about Galva, but I am so glad that I have.

I cannot wait for more from this world, and more from this author in general.
