4.5 stars * spoilers
Third book in the Saint of Steel quadrilogy, a Romantic high fantasy mystery, it follows another Paladin, Galen who alongside Piper a forensic doctor investigate mysterious mangled corpses that were discovered in their city by a gnole (animal like) constable, taking the three into a mysterious mansion
I loved this third book !! Like the previous entries in that world, the author did such a great job with the world building, constructing a fun and interesting mystery but also developing a non cringy romantic pairing, this type between two gay men.
I loved the main characters like the previous books, they both are well written, with their own struggles and strengths, not perfect and I especially loved their empathy towards each other and towards other people.
Unlike the previous book which I struggled with, the pacing in this one was so much better, a real page turning mystery without dragging it too much. I loved the underground maze like setting with booby traps that the characters are thrown into.
There were a couple of elements I wasn’t a fan of in regards to the plot or the relationship so that’s why I knocked half a star.
I’m looking forward to read the next and last entry in this wonderful series.
