Stargazy Pie
by Victoria Goddard
A, delightful cozy adjacent manners and magic book!
Jemis Greenwing is home in disgrace from university with a broken heart and a cold. He is hoping to fade into the background in his sleepy home town. The secret societies and drug smugglers some as a surprise!
The cons- I would have found this really confusing if I hadn't already read The Hands of the Emperor! It's set in the same universe (ish) and doesn't explain the fall/interim as much as Hands does, this makes for some confusing references especially in the beginning when all the characters were introduced. The other con is the number of characters, I had real difficulty keeping all them all straight and trying to remember their role. The plot and dialogue is slightly bewildering
The pros - much much witty dialogue and many dry asides! Jemis is an atypical main character/hero and somewhat of a reluctant one.
I will definitely be continuing with the series!
