This book was so perfect for me, and I loved it for a lot of the same reasons I loved The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandana. I can't count the number of times I was listening to this book at work and laughed out loud in my completely quiet office. The main character is one of those people who is hilarious without even realizing, which just makes her that much funnier. At the same time, the book does not shy away from serious issues. It delves into the nuances of how police often do not serve the civilians they claim to serve; rather, they take orders from the ones who pay them. If my memory serves, the book does not exactly address police brutality, but it does address some root causes of it like corruption and bias. I also like that the book points out that at the end of the day, the goal of any bigoted person is to gain more power. They seek to diminish others so that they main gain what others have lost. It emphasizes the impact that greed has on a community. I think these are probably the most loveable characters I've ever encountered, and they're not lacking in depth because of it. Mona is hilarious, and her familiars only add to her hilarity, Spindle is so childlike but wise at the same time, Mona's family is so supportive of her even if they don't understand exactly what she's going through, and even the Duchess proves herself by committing herself to fixing what she initially did wrong. Kingfisher took care to make each of these characters fully rounded, flaws and all, and it made me love them even more. This book was so cozy and heartwarming; it was just what I needed at this moment in time.
