I enjoyed this book immensely and I mentally hugged the author for including a page of name prononciations for readers. The book focuses on, as the title describes, a maid and a crocodile. Set in the same realm as the Raybearers series, the Maid, Small Sade is this incredibly strong MC a curse eater who changes the fates of others by cleaning their homes. While out looking for work she unexpectedly and accidentally binds herself to a god, The Crocodile. As Thier fates are bound Small Sade finds herself working at a fancy Inn and soon rumour spreads of her abilities and does that of her bosses ambitions, much to Crocodiles discontent.
The Maid and the Crocodile is a good fit for readers who enjoy fantasy that features Afrofuturism and social commentary,a dash of romance, themes of Union and has a defined class system. A cast of multifaceted main characters with disability and 2SLGBTQIA+ representation.
