Review of "Traitor's Blade: The Greatcoats Book 1" on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

The main character is the leader of the Greatcoats, an elite group of people who travel the country upholding the King’s Law. But the King has now been overthrown by the Dukes, who are cruel and power-hungry. The book flips through a few different timelines, showing us the founding of the organization, the fall of the King, and the main character’s travels in the “present”. What we find out did happen is very clever, and I’m excited to see how it’s resolved in the rest of the series — this book was fun and interesting enough to get me to read more
