Before I start – just UGH HOW GORGEOUS IS THAT COVER? I love the delicate pink ribbon spelling out the title, slashed through with glass, and the black ribbon behind it. Glorious.

A fun little look at mostly Janco’s point of view as they are recruited by a Sitian magician to help hunt down a powerful blood weapon being abused by a green Sitian rookie. I’ll be honest, Janco got on my nerves a bit. I like Ari’s calm stoicness. Janco never knows when to shut up […]
