Continuing through T Kingfisher's world. Yet another romance. Yet again very funny. Although I can see the novelty of each character's self-doubt wearing off after a bit. At least in this book both protagonists have good backstory reasons for feeling unworthy of love.

Also more gnoles, reminding me somewhat of Lackey's hertasi - no-nonsense non-humans. Technically this is the first of what the author promises to be a SEVEN-book sequence, but at least the first three (existing now in 2023), I'd say have a relatively minor link together.
