Paladin's Grace (The Saint of Steel)

I really enjoy the way Kingfisher writes. He writes the way I think, with constant - yet relevant - asides. This narrative style gained it 3 stars. The novel's attempt at serving up a little bit of everything for everyone really keeps it from being great. The whole "will they? won't they?" love story aspect seemed to be the only thing the plot was dedicated to.

I don't think I've read a book that fast since i was a teenager
I LOVED this and i'm so excited that it's a series and that there is other books even beside the series in this world

"No desserts for you" hahahaha

I have to say this is a first for me where I like the characters but the story was lackluster. I enjoyed the tension and teasing between the main characters but the story was alright. It was a bit all predictable. I didn’t hate it but I don’t think I will continue the series.

The way T. Kingfisher writing just envelopes me in a cozy, sometimes spooky hug and I live to be lost in her books. The way she writes people are so realistic and just so me. She tends to write these damaged middle aged characters that are awkward and just make me smile so damn hard. Stephen is wonderful and when Grace entered the alleyway I knew both Stephen and I was done for. The banter is hilarious and so real and the way I was kicking my feet, smiling and laughing was unreal. These two are like the rest of us trying to live a life but just barely scraping by struggling to survive each and everyday. In the mix of these wonderful characters learning to heal together and their adorable romance budding you have a serial killer going around decapitating people.
