While I felt I was missing something having not read the Clockwork Boys series first, I don’t think it was without enough exposition that could make the story less good. That all being said, this was another wonderful romantic adventure like only T Kingfisher can write. I love her characters, her world building, and stories. For fans of the Paladin Series, this will absolutely satisfy

Edit(10/8): ok I’ve taken some time to process so I’ll review the rest of the book.

2.5/5 stars. I wasn’t a fan of this one as much as the Clocktaur Wars or A Wizards Guide to Defensive Baking. (5/5 books for me).

The main character was slightly too quirky for my taste and I’m glad for the age representation but it felt like she was 50 instead of 36.

I really loved the non binary priest character and Brindle! Those two were the best part of the book for me! I also loved the part in the wandering

DNF chapter 13.
Nothing is happening. Its just a bunch of inner monologue and then awkward interaction in the attempt to be funny. Also why do I want to read about (view spoiler). The FMC was like that flustered clueless main character in a movie where she's just so quirky and awkward but in reality like really, really pretty.

A refreshing story about being brave and finding true love. I also appreciated that the FMC is in her 30s.

Very cozy, very funny. I laughed out loud a few times reading this. I loved the banter of the main characters. I enjoyed the premise of the book and hope T. Kingfisher releases more in this series.

Additionally, I listened to the audiobook version of this book and really enjoyed the narrator. She sounded exactly how I thought the main character should sound like and she made all of the characters have different voices and personalities.
