A Tempest of Tea by Hafsah Faizal
5.0

Utterly amazing!

This was marketed as a gothic Peaky Blinders and I see it truly - the FMC [just love saying her last name Casimir, so badass] heads a tea room by day called Spindrift and bloodhouse by night. Aided by a loyal friend, Jin [imagining Kim Seokjin as a fancast at this point], a mysterious Horned Guard named Laithe and a sly forger named Flick [well, Lady Felicity as a noble name]. Banded together to steal a ledger that can bring the monarchy down.

This rag tag of heroes really caught my heart. Each have their own reason for agreeing. Each have their own past to overcome. Reminds me of the Six of Crows gang too honestly.

I haven't read the duology of Sands of Arawiya yet but I read somewhere that it is set on the same world so this just makes me excited to read more of the author.
