It’s 1:32 am. I just finished this book. I couldn’t possibly sleep until I had. It’s a perfectly fluffy and fun and funny fantasy romance. I really just loved everything about this book. The characters are great. Zale has a soft spot in my heart and I hope they get a book at some point. But even the foils in this book are so well written that you legitimately hate them.

I really love the world and the setting. I have two theories on the pantheon - one is that Kingfisher has this elaborate pantheon all constructed, with intense inter-god relationships and personalities and such, but Kingfisher is such a pro at only giving us exactly what we need to know that we don’t see anything but the tip of the iceberg. The other theory is that Kingfisher is just making up stuff about the gods as she goes along and is just so excellent at following up with whatever has been previously decided, that it reads like Kingfisher has got it all planned out.

I really adore these books and this setting. Clocktaur Wars is on my wishlist and I cant wait for the sequel to Swordheart and for Istvhan to get his own book as well. I just want 100 more of these books, please.
