A review by bookbandit
The Human Familiar by Honor Raconteur

5.0

Ok, this was a fun book. I loved how Ban and Rin act towards each other. I also love all the supporting characters in this book. As I'm writing this I'm in the process of buying the next book because it ended in a way that has me looking forward to what's about to happen next

I'm going to put it to you like this. This is a classically and well done book. I'd go as far as to say that I'd like to see this as a TV show one day (not a movie...they'd mess it up.) Because there is a LOT to unpack in this book. The world building is meh at best. But that's not what's important. This book is all about the interaction between the two main characters.

Also, if you want a book with a strong male and female lead. Check. You want a book where the male lead isn't an asshole. check. You want a book where female lead physically as well as mentally grows without the direct support of male character. Check. You want a book that has both of the MC's sharing about the same amount of screen time and both are capable people in their own right? Check.

Not gonna lie to you. There is a bit of a love story in here and it's cute af. No seriously. They are two people who have ZERO idea that they are madly in love with each other and they are the only one's that don't see it. So there's no confusing love triangle, the plot is solid (not original, but as solid as Ron Jeremy in his prime.) There is a lot of witty banter back and forth, and there are straight up moments of chaos where you don't know the outcome until the last possible second.

All in all. a great book.


and no this book doesn't have sex in it....

and yes, I can read a book that doesn't have a guy trying to shit a girls lungs out of place.....

jeez....don't judge me...
