The Ruthless Lady's Guide to Wizardry

De: C. M. Waggoner

Narrado por: Ava Lucas

Dellaria Wells, petty con artist, occasional thief, and partly educated fire witch, is behind on her rent in the city of Leiscourt - again. Then she sees a “wanted” sign seeking Female Persons, of Martial or Magical ability, to guard a Lady of some Importance prior to the celebration of her Marriage. Delly fast-talks her way into the job and joins a team of highly peculiar women tasked with protecting their wealthy charge from unknown assassins.

Delly quickly sets her sights on one of her companions, the confident and well-bred Winn Cynallum. The job looks like nothing but romance and easy money until things take a deadly (and undead) turn. With the help of a bird-loving necromancer, a shapeshifting schoolgirl, and an ill-tempered reanimated mouse named Buttons, Delly and Winn are determined to get the best of an adversary who wields a twisted magic and has friends in the highest of places.

Sweet & entertaining

Fun story, world building was interesting, and the romance was sweet. Overall I very much enjoyed my time with this book.

Wonderful Adventure

What a great fantasy romp! Loved this low stakes adventure with some lovely romance woven through. And the performance is absolutely captivating!

not what I was expecting

fun adventure story.. I didn't quite expect such a broad use of f bombs ..but it worked.. and the love story behind it all was sweet.. wasn't expecting the queer bend to the story but found it wonderfully entertaining

Delightful writing, excellent story

A prime example of characterization through narrative voice. I actually laughed out loud once or twice a chapter just at the phrasing choices of the narration. It perfectly represented the absolute chaotic disaster that is the main character, and I loved every moment of it. The story is also really quite good, and pretty well defied my expectations.

If the weird, prosaic writing is throwing you off, just give it a chance to grow on you. It's worth it.

Loved it!

This was absolutely addicting and engaging. The writing was fantastic and the story was amazing. I look forward to more from this author who has made it to my top 10 authors.
