Romantic high fantasy mystery following Grace, a master perfumer who crosses paths with Stephen, a paladin whose god has recently died, while assassins and serial killers roam in their city.
I absolutely devoured this novel ! The third book by T. Kingfisher I'm reading, this has all the qualities I saw in her previous books. This author has the great talent of constructing interesting stories, compelling characters and incredible world building. This was such a page turner, the story was fast paced though i feel the mystery was resolved a bit too quickly. Still I liked the mystery itself (love anything with poisons and spies) and the serial killer was such a nice horror like touch. This particular plot element looks like it will continue onto the next books of the quadrilogy so I'm excited to read them. I also really liked all the characters, the two main ones of course, they felt like real people but also the side characters. I also loved the humour and the love story, everything was cozy and horny enough not to be too cringy (Romantasy or romance is not my favourite genre) I don't think I'll wait too long to read the next books!
