Quickie Review (May Contain Spoilers)

This was recommended through a friend, although originally I had this on a TBR for winter themed fantasy to read. I don't get a chance to read too much Eve Langlais, but this series has definitely held me intrigued. I did put this one off for a bit because I am not really a fan of assassin heroines, they just don't seem to resonate as well as male assassins do. However, pretty quickly I was swept away into this story and I do want to give much of the credit to the talented narrators. They really made this story just come alive so quickly for me. I also was so fascinated with how this author really built this story here. The plot was fascinating and the hero was a complete DREAM BOAT! I love me some sexy barbarians and he really embraced the role.

Now for the heroine. I wish I could have really loved this book. I wanted to love it, but the heroine was the type of character that you struggle with resonating with. You see what she has gone through but to be honest her character development was lacking. And she had a certain amount of glee when it came to killing, to the extent that you just don't see in assassin heroes. It shouldn't have been something she was excited to actually do. You also see minimal growth on her end which was disappointing. But despite the issues I had with this heroine, it was a fun time with this story and guarantee you will be laughing all over the place.
