In this sequel to Can't Spell Treason without Tea, former queensguard Reyna and her "Mage of Ages" girlfriend Kianthe are back and finding more adventure, this time on water. Seeking info about some missing dragon eggs, Reyna and Kianthe stumble across a Robin Hood-esque pirate named Serina who has a complicated backstory with Bobbie, the constable tasked with arresting her. While the plot of this book involves a lot more back and forth — literally, as they sail up and down a wide, wild river — than the first book, and so isn't quite as tight, it's still an excellent second chapter in Reyna and Kianthe's story. I'll definitely be picking up the third book in this trilogy when it comes out!
(Bonus points to Thorne for the best dedication ever for a book. If I hadn't already been determined to read it, the dedication would have convinced me.)
