This was an enjoyable historical romp with a smattering of fantasy.It feels quite humorous despite being about assassins, and I enjoyed the setting. The pacing was a little off in places and overall the book felt longer than it needed to be. The relationship between Valour and Petrichor became a bit much after a while and felt pretty childish.

The main character was not one I felt was that compelling and I found it a bit annoying that he managed to get away with his stupid decisions! Flea was a great companion.

As always with his books, the characters and story have real heart. Very satisfying! Many thanks to Netgalley for an arc of this book....more
