The previous book, the butchers masquerade was a pretty damn good read all the way through. The end had some plot points that came out of left field for me but I’m glad to say this book handled those spectacularly. Even better; the end of this book has me completely on board for whatever comes next. This series has been a absolute blast to follow and I’ve already recommended that my brothers get this book and read it now. And I give my absolute recommendation to anyone who’s been a fan of the series and those who have just discovered it to either read this book now or to hurry up read the others so they can stop wasting thier time and read this one.
