Luck in the Shadows by Lynn Flewelling

I ADORED this. It took a while to really get going at the start and I wasn't immediately feeling it, but the perfect balance between suspense and humour, alongside the WONDERFUL characters of course, kinda made its way into my heart. The characters are all really unique and memorable, the world and magic are interesting, the political intrigue is present, and it definitely helps that there are quite a few heist type situations! The queer romance hasn't kicked off yet, but the main characters are SO OBVIOUSLY in love and I personally love slow-burn romance so I cannot WAIT for them to get together in the later books.
One thing I didn't appreciate is the representation of disfigurement - it's not the worst I've encountered, but it could definitely be a lot better. I also hope there are more female characters later on; the ones so far are lovely and very different from each other, but it's all around a very male dominated book. I'm super excited to keep reading this series!! ALSO IF ANYONE HURTS MY USELESS SON I WILL CUT THEM --
