About this listen
Return to the world of Clockwork Boys in this all-new novel from T. Kingfisher!
Halla is a housekeeper who has suddenly inherited her great-uncle's estate...and, unfortunately, his relatives. Sarkis is an immortal swordsman trapped in a prison of enchanted steel. When Halla draws the sword that imprisons him, Sarkis finds himself attempting to defend his new wielder against everything from bandits and roving inquisitors to her own in-laws...and the sword itself may prove to be the greatest threat of all....

Love the story, painful accent
Struggling a bit with the narration of this, if the narrator could pick one ‘northern’ accent and stick with it, it would be less painful. Am trying to make it to Zale and see how they are done. Nope could not do it

Lovely story, but felt a bit jumbled in parts
The narration was great for me, but the characters sometimes act out of character which really took me out of it.

Fantastic storytelling, entertaining characters
It was a pleasant surprise. Did not expect it to be as funny and engaging as it was.

cute, but repetitive and overly long in the middle and a kind of meh ending
2.5 rounded 3. i like the vibes and the overall tone of the story, and i appreciated how much worldbuilding went into the setting. And while i can appreciate a "there and back again" kind of story, this was more of a "there and back, there again and back and there and back again" situation. which COULD be interesting in theory, but it felt like nothing really changed or escalated up until the climax of the book (when the very silly Third Act Breakup Misunderstanding happened). not helped by how there were some encounters that i had assumed would feed into the climax or go somewhere (a 1-2-3 setup/reminder/payoff), but then they just... never paid off lol.
the relationship is cute enough, for the "old fashioned manly warrior man drinks his respect women juice" trope, but i do feel like the female MC leaned a little TOO much into the "omg lol i love asking silly questions" type of curiosity. i say this as an adult woman with ADHD who also absolutely gets holed into my own little hyperfocuses and overly weird questions, so in theory this SHOULD have been "omg me too". but the way it was written in this book just felt incredibly "how do you do fellow neurodivergents" lmfaaoooo. maybe i wouldn't have minded it so much if the piss jar thing hadnt stretched over like three different scenes? like yes, we get it, your worldbuilding is vast and considered and the MC is the vehicle by which we will agonizingly detail why the love interest physically can't get her pregnant, i love that for her. but WRAP IT UP WITH THE PISS JAR, we get it!!

A fun journey once it gets rolling
Read the book and picked up the audiobook to share it with my partner.
The initial chapters are loaded with unpleasant characters, so you're hit with the narrator's 'worst' voices out the gate. Reviews claiming that Sarkis' accent jumps around aren't baseless, but by the end there's a consistent voice for the main cast.
This book is good fun where I find the start a bit of the drag but really enjoy the latter half -- Brindle and Zale are my stand-out favourite characters. Halla and Sarkis are fun and charming in their own ways but can feel a bit repetitive.
Recommended, but I'd maybe suggest any newcomers to T Kingfisher's fantasy romances try out Paladin's Grace first! (Certainly second!)

Loved this book
Great story with enough turns to keep you listening. Good characters, with depth, even felt fondly about about some of them, which is hilarious & one in particular, but not telling who, Great ending too! Another great story from T!

Great writing, but can't cope with the accents.
Sadly I've had to stop listening. I've been really enjoying the author's books and was excited for another, but as good as the narrator is at bringing the main female character and her family to life, I just can't cope with the main male. I am Scottish, and find myself wincing every time I hear the attempt at the accent. It slips between comical Scottish, Eastern European and occasionally Northern English. I'm sad to miss out on the rest of the story as I like the premise and what I heard so far, but every time I hear the 'Scot', Sarkis, I am taken right out of the story and can't enjoy it.

Sword heart
I wasn’t sure what I would make of this audiobook at first, but it grew on me as i enjoyed listening to it. Both the story and the reader have done a superb job and I now look forward to the next one. This is the 3rd book I have enjoyed by this author 🙂
