Will I love Traitor's Blade?

I have a soft spot for books where characters struggle to uphold justice in an unjust world. When you add in swashbuckling adventure, wry humor, and razor-sharp wit then I’m all in.

Sebastien de Castell’s Greatcoats is a wonderful romp with fabulous characters. While Falcio would be considered the main character, I think it’s Brasti, who steals the show. The fact that he is handsome, flirtatious, and self-assured, could become tiresome in less skilled hands, but Sebastien hits the mark (yes archery pun intended), and Brasti’s biting remarks (especially in dire situations) are the best part of this book.

This was a book where I enjoyed the ride, but the ending was so fantastic that it still sticks with my all these months later. The first of the Greatcoats Quartet, Traitors’s Blade was a powerful read about honor and commitment to righteousness during the dark times of tyranny.
