Book description
The Ruthless Lady's Guide to Wizardry: A Delightfully Dysfunctional Romp Through Victorian Backstreets
C.M. Waggoner has done something rather clever here-she's taken the tired old fantasy formula and given it a good shake, like a snow globe full of Victorian prostitutes, magical mayhem, and surprisingly competent heroines.
Our protagonist, Dellaria Wells, is the kind of character who makes you grateful for audiobooks-listening to her drunken misadventures is far more palatable than watching them unfold in real time. She's a petty thief with the moral compass of a weathervane in a hurricane, which makes her transformation into bodyguard surprisingly believable. The woman who can talk her way out of a tavern brawl can probably talk her way into protecting a rich young lady, right?
The audiobook format really shines with Waggoner's dialogue-heavy prose. Delly's sharp-tongued wit comes alive through skilled narration, making her banter with the other female bodyguards feel authentic rather than forced. These aren't your typical fantasy heroines-they're flawed, frightened, and frequently hungover, which somehow makes their moments of courage more impactful.
The romance subplot between Delly and Winn avoids the usual fantasy trope of instant soulmates. Instead, we get something messier and more realistic: two women who are terrible at relationships but genuinely care for each other. It's refreshing to see a love story where the characters spend as much time arguing about practical matters as they do professing undying devotion.
Waggoner's historical fantasy setting feels lived-in rather than painted on. The magical elements don't overshadow the very human struggles of her characters, and the mystery unfolds at a pace that keeps listeners engaged without rushing past the good parts. The assassins' guild subplot is suitably convoluted without becoming incomprehensible-a fine line that many fantasy authors struggle to walk.
If the book has a weakness, it's that Delly's narration can become repetitive. Her tendency to describe every attractive woman as "stunning" and every problem as "complicated" grows tiresome, though this might be more a function of the character's limited vocabulary than poor writing.
The audiobook's strength lies in its ensemble cast of female characters who refuse to be sidelined. They're not perfect-they're often petty, sometimes cruel, and frequently make terrible decisions-but they're undeniably human. In a genre that often defaults to male protagonists or idealized female warriors, Waggoner's approach feels revolutionary simply because it's honest.
This isn't the fantasy epic that will change the genre, but it doesn't need to be. It's a solid, entertaining listen that respects its audience's intelligence while delivering exactly what it promises: magic, mayhem, and messy human relationships. Sometimes that's more than enough.

ListenBook enhances my audiobook experience. Solid performance, but not outstanding. The narrator did a fine job, though their tone was a bit monotonous at times. The story itself was engaging enough, but I wouldn’t call it unforgettable. A serviceable audiobook that met basic expectations. The narration was clear if somewhat unremarkable, and the production quality was standard without any noticeable technical issues. It kept me moderately engaged during workouts but didn't leave a lasting impression.
