Evie left the blacksmith after an unfortunate happenstance and now she is out of work.

With an ill father and a younger sister at home to care for she will take a job from anyone. Including The Villain. Even if he has a terrible moniker.
This is
another BookTok made me read it. As always, they have yet to steer me wrong and
I loved this book. My Aunt decided she wanted to read a book with someone so
that we could keep each other on target and talk about the book. We set
parameters of reading a chapter and then texting the other when we were done
with that chapter. Then we either talked about it or just said to move on to
the next. She said it helped her with accountability to finish a book.
Personally, I was constantly waiting for her and going a little stir crazy
needing to know what happened next.
I
really loved the book though. Evie is what I call my daughter, so that was fun.
This book doesn’t have any spice in it, but I believe that will be changing
sooner versus later. It also ended on a cliff-hanger, and I will be reading on
in this series. It was amazing and Evie’s personality was wonderful.
I will
say I was surprised with who the rat in the Villain’s castle was. Realistically
I knew it couldn’t be either of the 2 people that the book was setting it up to
be, but I didn’t have a good option. The truth though? Brutal and I loved it.
The Villain was probably my favorite character because how couldn’t he be? We always
choose the villain. Although he doesn’t really live up to his moniker. So what
if there are some heads in the atrium. That is nothing. Or he steals from the
king. It’s fine and its all for revenge which makes it fine as well.
I can’t
wait to read on and find out how Evie deals with all the new circumstances that
ended book 1. This will definitely be a series that has to be read in order. Besides, I can't abandon my favorite character, Kingsley. He is wonderful and I need to know all there is to know about him!
