The Ballad of Smallhope and Pennyroyal by Jodi Taylor

adventurous funny lighthearted medium-paced

4.75

 Smallhope and Pennyroyal make their first appearance in The Chronicles of St Mary's universe at the Battle of Bannockburn. The team of bounty hunters, Recovery Agents, soon turned up in further St Mary's adventures as well as in the Time Police novels. Fans hoped for a short story about the team, how they met and started their business together. In true Jodi Taylor fashion we didn't get a short story, nor a novella, we got a whole novel about how Lady Amelia Smallhope met Pennyroyal. We learn how Pennyroyal got Smallhope addicted to margaritas, how they first forged a friendship and then their business together and see a lot of the duo outside of St Mary's and TPHQ.
