Kushiel's Justice

Excellent story

TW: murder of pregnant woman

This book had its merits, but it left me with mixed emotions. While I enjoyed about 50% of it, the rest left me annoyed, particularly the romance between Imriel and Sidonie. Their relationship grated on my nerves and failed to engage me. Despite objectively good qualities, the book's romance hindered my enjoyment.

Another really good read. I'm glad the stories are not formulaic but some of the characters continue throughout. I can't wait to start the next one.
