The Ruthless Lady’s Guide to Wizardry, by C.M. Waggoner. This fun romantasy pairs “gutterwitch” Delly with kind, aristocratic, half-troll Winn as they work with several other women to investigate a new kind of “drip” (a magical opioid) that has nearly killed Delly’s junkie mom. I’d rather that Delly had been slightly more likeable, but at least she grows up more over the course of the book. Some of the side characters were quite interesting! I’ll want to read the author’s earlier book, which looks to be the backstory for Winn’s parents.
