CM Waggoner's The Ruthless Lady's Guide to Wizardry
I’m not sure I liked this /quite/ as much as Waggoner's previous book, but it was still very enjoyable. This one is set in the same world, and involves a down-and-out fire witch getting recruited to a band of ladies to protect a young woman before her marriage. I liked all of that a lot, but the second half feels more like it’s spinning its wheels (though that does give the characters time to develop romances and begrudging friendships, all very fun). Bonus points for an absolutely unsettling mouse. A-/B+.
