Wooing the Witch Queen by Stephanie Burgis
5.0
Wooing the Witch Queen by Stephanie Burgis is not only a very entertaining cosy-dark fantasy, which blends some romance with a kid of humour.
I adored the bonds and loyalties that grew between all sorts of different races and people. The evil queen and her staff are fine family at it's finest, and I loved spending my time with them. Be it in the magical library, or in the kitchen, it was such a treat to see the friendships there
While I'm not usually a romance reader (to say the least), I do like the occasional cute or fun one, if they don't take themselves to seriously. This one hit the nail on the heat with the humour and banter, and while I'd have enjoyed it just as much without the romance, and instead a strong friendship growing, it wasn't one of those romances that make me roll my eyes, or cringe.
It's also one of the coolest things ever happening to me!
Just look:

Just look:
Over the years, he’d seen more than one public demonstration of strength performed by Gilded Wizards in the Serafin Empire’s service—but even when three or four of those highly trained wizards worked together, not one of their demonstrations neared this level of power. Yet the notorious Witch Queen of Kitvaria had famously created this on her own.
Or here:
The only magic ever allowed in any of the twelve archduchies that made up the Serafin Empire was carefully leashed Gilded Wizardry, kept safe for the nonmagical citizens through rigorous, lifelong Imperial training and strictly enforced regulations. Before he’d crossed into Kitvaria, Felix had never seen a nonhuman creature in his life. Until today, he couldn’t have imagined the sight before him.
It also has strong coffee and a Christmas like holiday, I feel like I should be *living* in this book already!
