This was a fantastic slow-paced read about a servant in a magical setting. I'd described as the cosy fantasy as much of it is about Roz working, falling in love and making new friends but it does have a plague and homophobia that Roz experiences directly. I love fantasy that focus on the working class and/or poor people as it feels like something that could happen to my family? That is to say, it's more relatable than reading about nobles and billionaires while also being very escapist because it is fantasy and there is magic. 

I loved the worldbuilding and the writing and I'm for sure going to check out the other ones in the series.
