This was another feel-good story from Nathan Lowell. Not much happens, but that was kind of nice for a change. There's some aspects of the story developing that I have to force myself to overlook, though. There's a growing number of scenes that demonstrate one of the biggest problems in [b:The Name of the Wind|186074|The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle, #1)|Patrick Rothfuss|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1270352123s/186074.jpg|2502879]; namely, an author who is in love with his own main character. I am suppressing inward cringes whenever he sweet talks another magnificent woman with his "quick wit". The response, "damn, you're good," in particular is getting old fast.

Still, the stories are engaging despite the lack of conflict, and I know I'll be pushing forward in the series. All-in-all, the good is far outweiging the bad.
