I love the trope of "Person is rumoured to be a complete monster but is actually a cutie patootie"! Here we're talking overworked, book-obsessed cutie patooties.
 

I won an ARC in Stephanie Burgis's newsletter raffle, and I couldn't wait to get to it! I'm very happy she's getting published by Tor, as her books deserve it. 

It's sweet, it's fast paced enough and yet you still get to see cute little scenes, there's books and a pet raven involved, and the two main characters are each loads of fun. At the same time, it deals with the heavy issue of abusive families, in a way that I found quite cathartic. 

Also, I enjoy bisexual main characters who don't end up "choosing a side" when they pick a love interest! it shouldn't need saying but it still does sooooo this book gets all the points.

I'm looking forward to the two more books hinted at, especially the one with the Ice Queen! I forgot how reading ARCs means you have to wait longer for the next one...
