dudebro fun™, will continue!
I really enjoyed this book. This was just a really fun Musketeers style adventure. Like the Musketeers with a little magic thrown in.
The King is dead. The Greatcoats are disbanded, but each one has still been given a final task by the King before his death. In this series we follow three high ranking greatcoats and best friends Falcio, Brasti, and Kest with the story being told from Falcio's perspective.

A blast to read. Exciting and moving.

In a word: Charming.
I adored this book. I can't wait for the continuation of the series and I have heartily recommended it to all of my friends.
So much of fantasy either falls on the fluffy side of YA or goes full-on Grimdark. This walks the rapier-thin line between them both and does so masterfully.
