Brother Diaz has been summoned to the Holy City, where he is certain a commendation and grand holy assignment awaits him. But his new flock is made up of unrepentant murderers, practitioners of ghastly magic, and outright monsters.

Absolutely loved the world building. It is a unique and interesting setting that I would have loved to have explored more. The plot is cool, the characters interesting and lively. HOWEVER! The book has more annoying jokes/quips than a marvel movie!! Ill timed annoying quips that completely break the pace and the intensity of EVERY cool moment. I couldn't bring myself to finish the book, and I really tried. I wanted to like this, but just couldn't claw through the quips and jokes

Felt a lot like a D&D campaign. It even got started at an inn. Series of boss fights before BBEG. A bit cringe at places. Quantity over quality with the surprises in the ending.

a hilarious team up book with a good variety of personalities and lots of growth, ending was a bit predictable but sets up the rest of the series, can't wait to read them
