I'm still not reading actual books but these sound like a lot of fun. I bet there will be someone out there who'll be able to gift you something if you request it!

It's a really fun series, and the books are a very quick read! I think you'd like them.

It's such a fun series! I haven't read all of it but I have gone through the first three or four. I love Irene, although a little sad she wasn't ace or aro as I had hoped after the first book, but such a good strong character. I have no clue if it's got much fannish traction yet but I hope so. There's 44 fanworks for it on Ao3 so some people are writing for it.
