Stephen's god died on the longest day of the year....

Three years later, Stephen is a broken paladin, living only for the chance to be useful before he dies. But all that changes when he encounters a fugitive named Grace in an alley and witnesses an assassination attempt gone wrong. Now the pair must navigate a web of treachery, beset on all sides by spies and poisoners, while a cryptic killer stalks one step behind....

From the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of Swordheart and The Twisted Ones comes a saga of murder, magic, and love on the far side of despair.

I enjoyed this book much more than I possibly expected. I don't usually read romance stories (and possibly because of this, I was taken a bit by surprise just how horny the story is!) but I've heard good things about T.Kingfisher and their fantasy writing so wanted to try them out. It was definitely worth it.
The characters were intriguing and the world building was excellent (this was my first book by T.Kingfisher so I'm not sure if the world is shared with any of her other book series). There's plenty of the secondary or tertiary characters that I'd like to hear more about in later books as well as the city state politics and the inter-temple rivalries. The romance plot line was definitely front and centre in the story, possibly to the detriment of the two other plots that interwove with it. I'd have liked those plotlines to have had a bit more page time but they're ingesting none the less.
I'm still undecided on the performance. The delivery matched for one of the protagonists very well and fitted their side of the story, but it left the rest very flat and almost monotone. I think I'm just tipping in favour of giving them the benefit of the doubt in what they were going for.
Altogether, definitely recommended :)

Interesting start to a series

Loved the two characters.. Grace is so funny. Stephen is the complete opposite. Great chemistry between them.

The voice actor, so good.

The humour is unique. It made me chuckle and giggle quite a few times. It had a good plot with unique characters.

The humour is quite charming

Unfortunately the romance, while sweet was just a bit too much for me (very teenage angst). I know it’s the purpose of the book and it’s definitely well written, so if a romance novel is what you were expecting, then don’t be put off!
I think it’s that it’s also got another plot that I was more interested in and the romance was detracting from it.

I have to echo other reviews on the romance
