Silly and entertaining, another hit by T. Kingfisher! It follows a widow, who (in the process of trying to escape her shitty family by stabbing herself with a sword) finds a man, who happens to live in said sword. 

I really liked these characters and the world that Kingfisher created! Halla was hilarious, and I loved that being “annoying and stupid” were her weapons against men—honestly she was so brilliant to appear dumb. I really liked her character, and I liked how devoted, yet exasperated by her, Sarkis was. Very cute little romance.
