This was a really fun, quick read. It is all about the characters and the interactions.

Kingfisher has really struck gold with Alex Easton. She is a fantastic character that just seems to pull in great supporting characters with some of the best banter that I have ever read. Reconnecting with Alex, Angus and Miss Potter was great; Widow Botezatu and her grandson, Bors, were fantastic additions to the cast.

I love Gallacia, it doesn’t exist, or does it? There is a certain vagueness to it. Kingfisher makes it seem like a possible place that may exist somewhere in Europe, maybe. This allows her to create the culture, have fun with superstitions, and generally make it all up as she goes. The reader never knows what crazy Gallacian quirk is around the corner.

All in all, I had a great time in Gallacia with Alex, and I can envision many entertaining adventures to come.

We are a couple of book reviewers

The couples who read together, stay together. That may not be scientifically proven, but it’s worked for us. We have been blogging for over twelve years. While we do enjoy reading together, we rarely read the same novels (although, it does happen occasionally). Sometimes a good book is just too good not to recommend to your spouse/blogging partner. If you’re looking for a book recommendation, you’ve come to the right place. Between the two of us, we cover a wide selection of genres. If you have a recommendation for us, we’d love to hear it! As always, happy reading!
