Whether you love to hate or hate to love 'em, these literary bad girls are anything but well-behaved. *Disclaimer: we do not literally support the illegal and oft cruel behavior of these protagonists (usually); we support the authors bold enough to write them (always).

This was a cozy, fantasy with comforting moments, a fun plot and a cute romance. While not fast-paced, this was still an enjoyable read set in a Kingfisher universe.
Now, when I picked this up I was more interested in the fantasy aspect (Dead gods? Paladins? Tell me more!) but itās very focused on the romance. Which usually annoys me unless itās done well. However ā I love how Kingfisher writes characters. Especially since she often writes about people in their thirties, which is refreshing. This one follows an introverted poisoner and a knitting paladin while they stumble through a failed assassination, courtly chaos and recent murders, all while slowly, pining for one another.
There was some moments that annoyed me (the constant self-denial, self-deprecating thoughts and ā(s)he could never ever ever like meā got old fast) I understand this fit the characters backstory and traumatic experiences but it was repetitive. I still really liked their relationship and how they both treated each other regardless, and they grew on me.
A cozy fantasy that is both comforting, cute, charming and funny. Iām always down to try anything Kingfisher writes.

TW about the book below⦠If you want to skip a certain scene ā I have included the page.
Keep reading if you need to!
To anyone not wanting to read the child r*pe scene (itās on 1 page), I have written it below what page to avoid.
Iām loving this book ā this is not to trash it but just offer a specific trigger warning & option to skip that scene as it was hard to read. Itās not crucial to the plot.
Thereās plenty of triggers in every book, especially Horror (StoryGraph is great at helping with that) and this one had a rather quick and graphic scene I wish I had the option to skip or be prepared for.
Many times horror books are a fantastic, gritty and offer a real, dark look at humanity or our subconscious, but Iām a firm believer that trigger warnings should be offered (just like with movies / games) so those of us healing from traumatic moments can see these warnings can be prepared. If you donāt mind or want to know, just donāt read below!
Thank you!
