It's not often I give 5* to a novella but Majordomo deserved it 100%
Eeh, I'll give it a go thenπ
Looking for a fun, cozy-stabby read this weekend? Doing my one bit of self-promotion for the week to say check out Majordomo. 4.7 stars on Goodreads/Amazon. Can a kobold with a club foot carve a place for himself in a world filled with homicidal heroes? books2read.com/mdomo
Happy Launch Day

SF&Fantasy books by fifteen women writers. Martha Wells, Robin Hobb, Elizabeth May. Joanne Harris, Patricia Briggs, Helen Lowe, Elspeth Cooper, Freya Robertson, Gail Z Martin, Marie Brennan, Kari Sperring, Celine Kiernana, Anne Lyle, NK Jemisin.
14 SF&F books by women writers - Maria Dahvana Headley, Evie Manieri, Stephanie Saulter, Kristen Cahore, Gwenda Bond, Kate Griffin, Libby McGugan, Eliza Crew, Ann Leckie, Lou Morgan, Francis Knight, Karen Lord, Janet Edwards, Gail Sebold.
