Story
Oliver was a very minor mage. His familiar reminded him of this several times a day. He only knew three spells, and one of them was to control his allergy to armadillo dander. His attempts to summon elementals resulted in nosebleeds, and there is nothing more embarrassing than having your elemental leave the circle to get you a tissue, pat you comfortingly, and then disappear in a puff of magic.

Fourteen-year-old Mona isn't like the wizards charged with defending the city. She can't control lightning or speak to water. Her familiar is a sourdough starter, and her magic only works on bread. She has a comfortable life in her aunt's bakery making gingerbread men dance. But Mona's life is turned upside down when she finds a dead body on the bakery floor. An assassin is stalking the streets of Mona's city, preying on magic folk, and it appears that Mona is his next target. And in an embattled city suddenly bereft of wizards, the assassin may be the least of Mona's worries.

Worn out after decades of packing steel and raising hell, Viv, the orc barbarian, cashes out of the warrior’s life with one final score. A forgotten legend, a fabled artifact, and an unreasonable amount of hope lead her to the streets of Thune, where she plans to open the first coffee shop the city has ever seen. However, her dreams of a fresh start filling mugs instead of swinging swords are hardly a sure bet. Old frenemies and Thune’s shady underbelly may just upset her plans.

In the world of Warbreaker, each person is born endowed with the power of one Breath―which can be sold and collected by others, then used to Awaken objects and even corpses to do their bidding. A few individuals who die in glory return as gods, with the power of thousands of Breath, but no memory of their mortal lives―and are enthroned in the Court of Gods in Hallandren’s capital. To Vivenna and Siri, princesses of Idris, the abuse of Breath and the claim of the Returned to be gods are repugnant blasphemy.

This is the way the world ends...for the last time. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

Another outstanding romance
T Kingfisher has become an autopurchase for me anytime she releases a new book. This series of romance novels has very sensible characters who you can’t help rooting for. Her novels often have a darker side and it makes them even more intriguing. We got murderous bandits, a horrible city/state, werebears, berserker paladins, and the undead. I love the fact that her main characters are not teenagers and are more relatable for older adults. Read this as soon as you can. Read all of her books.

Paranormal Romance
This is the second book in the Saint's of Steel series. Each book can be read as a stand alone. Each story is the adventure of a different Paladin. Themes include shifters, magic, and found family.
I listened to the audio version of this book. The narrator does an excellent job bringing the characters to life.
This is a delightful, witty fantasy. It is not an epic fantasy. This story is character driven. Even the secondary characters are well developed. The protagonists struggle with self worth in different ways adding to their depth. Who or what would you sacrifice for someone else? What are you willing to overlook? These questions add interest to the challenges they face.
This is a light, easy. read. The banter had me laughing. There are some sexual situations that are not descriptive and occur off page. I recommend these books after a heavy read or for a pick-me-up, it will certainly lift your mood.

Real, funny and Sweet
I love T. Kingfisher's books and the way that their er protagonists are always real people with a wry sense of humor and feelings and strengths and know who they are. this is probably my favorite of the three paladin books so far. Istvan and Clara are a wonderful match and I love the way the author managed to weave in horror without you really even realizing it.

Great story, very different from the first one
I found the first book so-so and almost didn’t continue the series, but I am very glad that I read this one. The story is extremely interesting - romantic, suspenseful, good lore, the works. I love the characters, too.

Love love love
I was shocked when the story wasn’t about Grace and Steven but was absolutely delighted. These books are so funny and perfect.

the Adventures of Istvan the mighty
This book just like the previous one is what I imagine what being a Paladin with a dead God would be like. having the survivor's guilt whole carrying on with life to find a new purpose. Beautifully and hilariously written!
