I had such high hopes for this book based on the summary. Paladin x Necromancer? Yes! But this book didn't hit any of the spots.

The relationship between Arthur and Shae wasn't developed at all. The characters went soft around each other too early, and it just felt underwhelming when they got together. And then you had the “I love you” despite not knowing each other for long. And I don't understand Arthur's sudden turn away from his Order. 

Maybe it was an issue of the book being only 247 pages long, but it just felt underwhelming. The fight scenes were underwhelming, the defeat of the big bad was underwhelming. About half way through, I did have a moment where I thought I was enjoying it (after the third act breakup) but then it got boring and underwhelming again. It just read like fanfiction.
