This is is about Juno, now the Duchess of Storm.

She hasn’t seen any ghosts since her marriage, but when she drops her wedding ring, she discovers it must have been spelled to keep ghosts at bay. Suddenly, her late mother-in-law is trying to take over the house, and her first husband is demanding that Juno solve his murder. With her current husband away on a secret mission for the queen, Juno sets out to resolve these problems.

This is compelling and amusing, but darker than the others in the series -- or maybe it’s that as a usual rule, ghost stories aren’t my sort of thing. However, I enjoyed the twists and the dramatic developments and the way the different pieces of the narrative fitted together.

When in doubt, tea.

This continues to be a lovely somewhat tongue in cheek Gaslamp fantasy series (regency? I'm not so sure on my faux historical genres). I love that we got to learn more about Juno, somewhat unintentional Duchess of Storm, about different types of magic, and about family mysteries. ( )

This is a fun installment of the Teacup Magic series, and it was nice to see Juno's perspective in this one. I like Juno more as a protagonist than I thought I would; she wasn't my favorite of the characters when she was a side character, but I suppose part of that is seeing her through others' eyes. I have to say, though, the plot in this one felt more developed than in several other books in the series. (The ones featuring Mneme feel more like character studies, while this one has a stronger plot steering the ship, so to speak.) I'm really curious to read the next book and see what Metis is like as a protagonist.

This book is the 5th in the series, but if you don't mind some minor series spoilers you can read this one without having read the others that came before it. ( )

Excellent. My favourite so far. ( )

I think this is my favorite Teacup Magic book yet! Juno is phenomenal. ( )
