Rezension von VerenaI loved this one as much as the rest of the series. This time we get Shane (emotionally wrecked Paladin of Steel), Marguerite (competent, clever spy), and a little bonus Wren (I would love her as a big sister). It’s funny, charming, and emotionally effective—though yes, a few sections drag. Luckily, the humor and the romance more than make up for it. The ending was… surprising. Which means I am on my knees, begging the Rat, the Dead Saint of Steel, the Dreaming God, and literally any god with a free minute to please, please give us more Paladin books. I have questions. I have feelings. I have a CLUE. I need answers. Baaaadlyyy 🥹 -> “You know,” said Marguerite gently, “one other thing he taught me is that some choices aren’t wrong, no matter which you choose. They just are.” -> Jealousy was fear, plain and simple, fear of abandonment, fear that one would be judged in comparison and found wanting. -> Poets always thought they were so clever, talking about how people could be so terribly lonely in groups as if it was some special insight, when it was obvious to any fool that other people just made it worse. If you were starving, being surrounded by food you couldn’t eat didn’t help. It just reminded you how hungry you were. -> Besides, he’s apparently genuinely pure of heart. His idea of talking dirty might be “I respect you enormously as a person. Let us pray.” -> “Shane,” she said, turning to look at the paladin, “when a woman is lamenting that she doesn’t feel attractive, you’re supposed to tell her she’s beautiful. Not that you’re honored to kill people with her.” He looked at her blankly, then said, “Oh.” -> In all the tragic novels and epic poems that he had read over the years, the key was that the heroes doomed themselves by their own flaws. That’s why it’s a tragedy. Otherwise it’s just a poem where people die.
