I had a little trouble at first to get into the story, which is not as easy as in other romances. The world created by the author is very well built and it's nice, because once understood, we spent a great time. I had the impression of reading a series of mix between Elizabeth Hoyt Phantom of Maiden Lane and Brook of Meljean Iron Duke.
Regarding the characters, I liked, although I struggled to fully adhere to their character. I found that the original Blade is a street guy who speaks badly enough, Honoria and a hard worker, but he missed a little something to be completely embedded by history, I scarcely know what.
However I had a very good read, and I am looking forward to read more.
