The Mortal Word

While I could still wish for a slightly different ratio of relationship development, magic, and mystery solving to political intrigue and interpersonal drama/sniping, on balance I found this entry in the series more fun than frustrating, and the ending more satisfying. Cogman is effective in goading my emotions, which does allow for a fully involved reading experience. Irene continues to be a badass par excellence. On to the next! ...in a week or four..

I want my Irene/Kai/Vale throuple, dammit!
