Seven Blades in Black by Sam Sykes
4.0

I really enjoyed this. The magic system is unusual, particularly regarding how much detail is put into the cost of using magic. I enjoyed Sal’s narrative, and I have a soft spot for Liette. I really loved the balance of tense action packed scenes followed by just enough of a break to let you catch your breath. Sal is always finding herself in bigger trouble than she anticipated for and always manages to find her way out.

This was a really good, fun read and I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the books in this series.
