I liked Ismae's but I liked Sybella's story even more. The second book in the His Fair Assassin-series follows Sybella, another Handmaiden of Death.

As she's constantly surrounded by danger and betrayal, she'll have to find out just which role Mortain has in mind for her.

GoodReads ★★★★ Ever after reading the first book in the Peter Grant series, Rivers of London, I've been a big fan. I don't read that many urban fantasy series, but this one is quite different from the rest I've read as it contains loads and loads of British humor, sarcasm and wit.Needless to say I...
