bookrecsbyjess 's review for:

Sword Catcher by Cassandra Clare
4.0

Thank you to PRH Audio for the gifted audiobook. 

What it's about:
Kel has been trained to protect
Prince Conor since he was a child.
Lin is a healer not accepted by her people. When both their lives are intertwined with a criminal called The Ragpicker King, they must decide who to trust and what they're fighting for.

What I thought:
This was a re-read for me. I had forgotten how slow the pacing was, but I did still overall enjoy it. The big reveals and plot twists were still great, and I'm excited to continue on with this series.

> I liked seeing all the details and foreshadowing that I missed the first time through

🎧 Audiobook Thoughts: I liked these narrators, but I didn’t enjoy when Fiona did voices for other characters. Her voice for Lin was great though.

⚠️ violence, injuries, blood, medical content, death, swearing, and more 

🌶️ the characters do spend some time at a pleasure house, so there are some slightly open door scenes
