Fifth book by Victoria Goddard this month, no regrets. This is book 1 of Greenwing and Dart, and I am so excited that this pair of dashing young gentlemen get more mysteries to solve. Jemis Greenwing, having slunk back from college with a broken heart, broken dreams, and severe hay fever, just wants to fade quietly into his job; his old friend Dart decides to cheer him up and they inadvertently stumble upon a secret society calling on the old gods with dark magic. I loved the mixture of gossipy small town atmosphere with cults, criminal gangs, and a general shared trauma over recent magical cataclysm, all overlaid with a Regency-level preoccupation with etiquette and social standing. Super charming read.
