Saint's Blood

I started this expecting more of the things that really grated me about the first two books (esp. the second) and when another terrible plot to destroy Tristia is discovered I was expecting it to be one of the previous two (painfully obvious) baddies, Trin or the Tailor. If you're worried about the same thing, then don't! The Big Bad in this book in entirely new.As always this was a really easy book to read (once I got past my initial concerns) and I enjoyed this a lot more than [b:Knight's Shadow 23547364 Knight's Shadow (Greatcoats, #2) Sebastien de Castell https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1421878279l/23547364.SY75.jpg 41935536], which has encouraged me to see it through to the end of the series. Falcio seems to have grown out of his ‘stupidest smart person' phase finally and all our central characters continue to develop alongside the introduction of some new ones. A great continuation of the story.
