2021 book 204

 T. Kingfisher's Paladin's Hope

Yay! It’s another romance in Ursula Vernon's paladin series! Of course this means that we immediately start with people investigating a dead body, because the romance is between a paladin and the local forensic pathologist (but like the fantasy world version), who has the power to see how people died. Solid plot, really interesting as the duo teams up with a gnole to investigate a series of bizarre murders (as always, I am here for the gnoles). The romance was super cute, I was rooting for these two dudes pretty hard, and if the late turn towards melancholic self-pity to cause conflict feels formulaic, well, this is technically a romance novel, lol. It works out in a supremely satisfying manner, for sure. A.
