This was an extremely cute book. I'm not sure I would necessarily categorize it as a cozy fantasy - the stakes are a bit high for that - but it is very much focused on the relationship between our two main characters so it is cozy in that sense.

Logan is such a good character - a man with so many self-esteem issues who is desperate to save his husband. Pie is also very fun - a bard with secrets of his own who is desperate to convince Logan that he deserves to be loved and that not everyone who loves him will leave him.

They are joined by the countess - a necromancer Logan once got arrested but now needs to help him rescue Pie, Ophelia - Logan's ex-wife who hurt him just as much as he hurt her, and Gary - a naive young man who wants to prove himself and be a hero.
