I saw that one Netgalley reader gave this 1 star due to being unable to download the book in its entirety 🤔 I also had this problem but by reloading it got the whole book but I would not have scored it 1 regardless simply because of the previous books of the Pious men actually being very bloody (literally) good and Peter McLean has not dropped the standard with this book, as always it’s bloody, it’s Machiavellian, it’s got romance (you can be Grimdark and in love) it’s just a really good book, my only caveat is that sometimes (ok a lot) we get reminded again and again of information already given but it does not detract

Can't say if the book is good. I got only a cover of it. One star is because of the format, not of what the book is about, I am sure the book is awesome.
