Swordheart

Fun and low-stakes, just the way I like my cozy fantasy. Perfect to just sit down with and take some time off. The adventure, humor and romance aspects mix really well. T.Kingfisher just never dissapoints in selling a well developed atmopshere, no matter if it's her more horror or romance centered novels.

I didn’t know I needed a practical widow, a grumpy sword-bound warrior, a hedgehog god, and an inheritance dispute in my fantasy until Swordheart gave me all that and more. T. Kingfisher perfectly balances humor, heart, and a touch of weirdness. Halla is a delight—warm, impulsive, and totally unprepared for adventuring—while Sarkis is the perfect gruff counterpart, baffled by her and the modern world. Their dynamic is hilarious and heartfelt, with a surprisingly thoughtful approach to trauma, agency, and consent. It’s not a high-stakes epic, but a cozy, clever road-trip-rom-com with swords, gods, and deeply relatable paladins who care about paperwork. Whimsical, wise, and weird in the best way. *Rezensionsexemplar*

Ich konnte es kaum aus der Hand legen. Sehr spannend. Die Charactere haben eine tolle Chemie miteinander. Zum Glück wurde der zweite Band (Daggerbound) für 2026 angekündigt. Ich habe schon einige Bücher von der Autorin gelesen, aber dieses finde ich bisher am Besten.
