Summary
Return to the world of Clockwork Boys in this all-new novel from T. Kingfisher!
Halla is a housekeeper who has suddenly inherited her great-uncle's estate...and, unfortunately, his relatives. Sarkis is an immortal swordsman trapped in a prison of enchanted steel. When Halla draws the sword that imprisons him, Sarkis finds himself attempting to defend his new wielder against everything from bandits and roving inquisitors to her own in-laws...and the sword itself may prove to be the greatest threat of all....

Another charming story from T Kingfisher

The narrator is so good too. She really changes her voice for each character so it is easy to follow and gives them personality. I love the accent she gave to Sarkis and the voice of Hallah's cousin so suits him. She does the evil bird real well too.
Humor is infused throughout the entire story - the whole beginning of the novel is just so perfect and funny - the romance is cute, the friendships are touching too and it is nice to travel with Zale and Brindle again... and PrettyFoot! We also get to see again another Rat temple character briefly but she is brilliant and so very smart.
Hallah has the best dialogue sentences you could think of. Her brainstorming with Zale is almost scary. Sarkis is, like many of the author's main male protagonists, very respectful of women, and refuses to use power over them, be it sexually or mentally.
I hope I am not wrong, as everyone feels differently, but I do not think this book contains elements that could be difficult for anyone. There are 2 sex scenes but with mutual consent and rather funny and sweet. One scary moment in strange hills, 3 human deaths, 1 animal, but no gory details.
There is a lot of talk about suicide but in a very light way. I know that sounds strange, but it is written to be funny, not dramatic. So it should not be painful, unless maybe, if you recently suffered from such loss, or struggle against such thoughts - if you are, lots of loving thoughts to you and please take care of yourself and ask for help.
As for language, as a non native speaker, I cannot be sure, sorry, but it seemed mild to me.
Excellent story and narrator

amazing story telling

I hesitated to put 3/5 for the narrator because of the horrible way she impersonated the male protagonist and all the foolish accents for the secondary characters, but overall, an enjoyable experience!
Nice and cozy
