I LOVED IT I’m in the mood for entertainment, something fun with nifty magic and a great character. I’m not in the mood to think or solve a complicated plot. My brain needs a rest and I need an escape. So this series was perfect. Caim is an assassin who gets a job that turns sour and is thrown i...
