The first time I read this book I liked it enough and thought the author did well with the whole cozy fantasy thing. This time around however I really enjoyed it. I think the fact that I was reading and listening to its audiobook at the same time made it a much better experience. It definitely felt a bit dragged out and somewhat slow at some point but I think it worked well with the plot. 

I’m hoping we get a second book sometime in the future since the ending kind of gave us the impression that the other swords are still out there. It would be nice to see Sarkis get some closure on that end.
