Get your tissues ready, because this one gave me both happy and sad tears. This is a story of family, grief, and the family we find along the way.

What a delightful change of pace with the main characters being ladies in their retirement. There’s snippets of them being younger that not only shows the training but really is fundamental to the plot. This book made me laugh and made me feel like I was on the edge of my seat.

Honestly, this is a super fun read. Kind of YA at times, especially in the beginning, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t political intrigue, a cute romance, and beautiful world building. I’m not usually one to read series but I’m so excited for the next book. 
informative reflective tense slow-paced

Dated, but an okay book when you take into consideration the bias.
