I really enjoy this series for the action, suspense, mystery, and magic. Holmberg continues to add layers of complexity to his main characters, while introducing us to new characters who might well become main characters in forthcoming books. As for this book in particular, I was concerned for a while that Mr. Joha was completely out of his element and was bumbling about like a total noob, but then……oh, wait, no you need to read the book yourself to find out all that happens. A very good read with lots of twists and turns. I very much recommend it.
I paid for this book so my review is not in exchange for a free copy.
Joha Dorian and Ellie are on their way to Ardem for negatations. Joha is supposed to be protecting Dorian. Joha was supposed to be Finding some blades similar to him which never happens what Joha discovers is. Ardem has no fafricatiors which gives Dorian a better notations. They find the guild and get rid of them and. head back to busal city. Some funny some some excititing a good story
