 Saint of Steel, book 1

 

I did not expect a straight-up romance hidden in fantasy trappings.  It was a good romance, funny, with complicated mature characters, a fun supporting cast, and just enough mystery to keep things moving, but... straight romance.  With poor communication and mistaken assumptions as main driving forces. Not a genre that I've read much in the past 20 years, and I probably won't go back too often, but it was a nice change.

This was simply delightful.  The world felt well-rounded, the magic was interesting, and our heroine, Mona, was fantastic.  It was just a lot of fun.
