Paladin's Grace

Whilst foraging for startleflower, perfumer Grace finds herself pursued by ruffians and rescued by a handsome paladin in shining armour. Only, to outwit her hunters they must pretend to be doing something very unrespectable in an alleyway.

Stephen, a broken paladin, spends his time knitting socks and working as a bodyguard, living only for the chance to be useful. But that all changes when he saves Grace and witnesses an assassination attempt gone wrong. Now, Stephen and Grace must navigate a web of treachery and poisoners, while a cryptic …

Perfect for fans of Legends and Lattes, Paladin's Grace is a darkly whimsical fantasy featuring sock-knitting paladins, badass perfumers, courtroom hijinks and heart-racing romance, from Nebula and two-time Hugo Award-winning author T. Kingfisher.

Fun read

5 Sterne

I would never have picked this book up based on the cover, but the idea of a paladin whose God has died got me.

This ended up being a nice "cozy" (with mild threat) read. I enjoyed the recurring motif of relief&joy. Contrary to some other reviews I've seen, I actually enjoyed the slower first half of the book way more than the conclusion. I think I would have liked a tad more magic but I get that might be coming later in the series which I will be going on to.

The second guessing in the romance got a bit old after the first few times I had to read it.

Cozy and charming

4 Sterne

Just on the borders of the kind of books I usually read, this chill, cozy romantasy was thoroughly enjoyable and entirely charming. Lovable characters and a few genuinely laugh out loud moments, I'll likely return to the series in the future, when I need a palate cleanser from something darker.
