Minimum Wage Magic by Rachel Aaron
5.0
I think I've found a favorite new series! The plot isn't the most unique, and the characters definitely lean trope-y but wow is this world fun and interesting. I love the cyberpunky, magicpunky, world of the future that Rachel Aaron has created here.
There is just something sparkly and wonderous about the living city of magic that is Detroit in Minimum Wage Magic. I can't wait to go back! I just hope there is more of Opal and Nik in the next two books. While I am more than fine with a novel that doesn't include romance, I really came to enjoy their relationship, and was disappointed we didn't see it go beyond business partners/friends (yet?).
I've also learned that Rachel Aaron also writes as [a:Rachel Bach|6572837|Rachel Bach|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1402348104p2/6572837.jpg] and is responsible for an equally trope-y but fun sci-fi novel I also really enjoyed, [b:Fortune's Pawn|18984020|Fortune's Pawn (Paradox, #1)|Rachel Bach|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/book/50x75-a91bf249278a81aabab721ef782c4a74.png|21512449]. If you like this, and enjoy the writing, you'll very likely like Fortune's Pawn as well!
