I listened to this on audiobook. I've said it before but Moira Quirk is a treasure and breathes so much life into the audiobooks she narrates. The book itself captured me immediately, which I didn't expect. I normally have to force myself through the first hundred or so pages before I'm properly invested. The story feels like a fleshed out fairy tale. There is action, adventure, heist stuff, an adorable dog, lore, and magic. I loved it, it's exactly what I want in a fantasy book and right up there with my favorites like Nettle & Bone.
