Do pay attention to any content and trigger warnings. This is very much an adult fantasy series with a lot of alcohol/drugs, sexual content on the page, scars/self-harm, violence, depression, and grief. Thanks so much to Edelweiss and Union Square and Co. for letting me read and review this story. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
The Halfling Saga series, book 1. Fantasy. Cliffhanger.
Keera is the King’s Blade. An assassin. It’s her job to protect the kingdom and act as spy. She needs to know the differences between the mortals, an elf or halflings, like herself. Keera is now on the hunt
Keera is deeply troubled by the killings she’s been forced to do over the years. She doesn’t want to hurt anyone. She has a softness in her heart for her attendant. That tells us she’s not as cold as she wants everyone else to believe. Even a bit naive to me in some respects.
It reads a bit YA to me but we do find out she is quite a bit older. With the killings and tortur pe and blood, this is definitely an adult read.
Twists and surprises and cliffhanger ending.
I’m looking forward to reading more.
