Cat Sebastian's The Queer Principles of Kit Webb is quite possibly the most honest story about highway robbery to hit the shelves since Robinhood. The retired legendary highwayman, Kit is just fine running his coffeehouse and not stealing from the rich until a young lord shows up with an offer he cannot refuse.  Percy, the young lord in question, has found himself in need of a man who can rob his father so he may save his friend and he has found just the man to pull it off. Although Kit refuses to participate in the robbery himself, he is more than willing to teach the young lord how to pull it off. From lessons on how to throw a punch, to when to stop a carriage on the road, Percy is shaping up to be a fine student (in between bouts of shameless flirting). But will they be able to pull it off together as new revelations threaten their tenuous relationship? In a tale riddled with deception, you would be surprised how adorably honest the main characters are with one another. Kit's coffeehouse is filled with patrons who love his gruff demeanor and questionable customer service skills. Percy's best friend and stepmother appreciates him, his valet is perhaps the best employee that has ever existed, and his younger sister is the only baby I will ever like in a romance novel. For the record, I would love novels from all three of them. So it is no surprise to hear I also adore Kit and Percy. Kit's life as a cane user is well researched and specific. It helps that the rest of his character is fleshed out from the way he organizes his coffeehouse library to the treatment of the spider that lives rent-free in the staircase. His relationship with Percy quite frankly shouldn't work as well as it does. Percy wields his words and outfits just as well as he does a sword. His air of quirky strength hides a vulnerability in a way that you only develop if you grow up around people who either despise you or are indifferent to your presence. Nevertheless, I like them together and wish them the best of luck in the future. I imagine the book will end up doing well for its plot and characters alone, but I will be interested to see the cover hit the shelves. I have been a fan of Cat Sebastian for a long time (and would highly recommend both the Regency Imposters series and the Seducing the Sedgwicks series), but this is her first illustrated cover. While illustrated covers have been in the historical space for a while, a majority of the illustrations are blackened silhouettes apart from To Love and to Loathe by Martha Waters. I am a big fan of the digital cover so I imagine the attractive artwork will only help boost sales. If you are looking for brutal honesty about the cost of ducal estates on the working class this is the book for you. But seriously, you come for the highway robbery and stay for the comfort of found family. The Queer Principles of Kit Webb by Cat Sebastian is set to release June 8, 2021. Thank you, Avon and Harper Voyager via NetGalley for providing the eARC of The Queer Principles of Kit Webb by Cat Sebastian in exchange for my honest review.

★ Tell me about your favorite debuts that have released so far this year! My favorite debut is, hands down, The Wolf and the Woodsman by @avasreid. It’s a lyrical, beautifully realized adult fantasy, inspired by Hungarian history and Jewish folklore, set against a dark, woodsy fantasy backdrop. Within its pages you’ll find a wild girl and a lost prince whose lives crash into each other and become irrevocably bound. It’s harsh and romantic and one to savor as you read. As the granddaughter of Hungarian immigrants, this book called to me when I first came across it and I was lucky to read an early copy last winter from @harpervoyagerus. Reid’s atmospheric storytelling enfolded me into a world where nothing is given without first taking, where even the trees themselves feel on the cusp of giving chase, and where the worst monsters live behind city walls and whisper prayers with reverent fervor. You’ve probably seen me rave a lot about it over the past few months, and it undoubtedly deserves endless praise. I look forward to reading more from Ava in the future! ★ CHALLENGES //   #tumblesoverbooks / made you cry #allthebooksjune21 / want to reread ★ HASHTAGS //    #avareid #thewolfandthewoodsman #harpervoyager #bookcart #newrelease #fantasybooks #bookaesthetic #homelibrary #bookshelf #bookstack #bookbabe #readfantasy #bookstagram #bookworm #bookphotography #bibliophile #booklover #bookaddict #bookobsessed #readersofinstagram #bookish #booksbooksbooks #beautifulbooks #booktag #prettybooks #bookdragon #bookhoarder https://www.instagram.com/p/CQHw0jyr6_1/?utm_medium=tumblr
