It’s taken me far far FAR too long to read this, and I was (unsurprisingly) entirely charmed!

Derring-Do takes us back to the very earliest meeting of the people who will eventually form the Red Company - and knowing Victoria, I’m sure that as the series continues we’ll learn more about them as people than about their later infamous deeds. This would be a great start for people nervous about jumping into the larger Nine Worlds, but being so much chronologically earlier I admit I’m not sure how well it would serve as a lead-in to the other books. Would recommend to fans of Tamora Pierce’s Circle of Magic, as long as you’re chill with no plot just vibes 💛
