Wicked Saints (Something Dark and Holy #1) by Emily A. Duncan
I don't have strong opinions either way on this one. I was reminded a lot of Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse (which, funnily enough, Duncan shouts her out in the acknowledgements for being an influence on her), so I felt like I'd already read a version of this story. I also felt like the teenage angst/hormones got to be a bit much for me by the end of the novel. The story was interesting, though, and the pacing kept things moving. I'm not sure I'll be checking out the sequel, but this held my attention as a YA fantasy.

Ttte swearing headcanons
Thomas: swears at least once a day when nobody is around, thinks saying no-no words is funny
Edward: never said a bad word in his life, will remind everyone to watch their language
Henry: would if he could but knows that swear words hurt people.
Gordon: thinks swearing is undignified, despicable, disgraceful, and disgusting.
James: doesn’t swear except for that time he derailed when his brake blocks were on fire.
Percy: learned a new word, uses it, until he’s told that it’s a bad word
Toby: scolds Percy and Thomas for foul language, swear police
Duck: thinks that swearing is not the Great Western Way ™. Swear police no. 2
Donald: swears in his sleep when he’s stressed out.
Douglas: will swear occasionally for fun
Oliver: will swear occasionally when Duck and toad aren’t around
Emily: is a proper lady and thinks swearing isn’t ladylike
Salty: picked up his vocabulary from the sailors. Has quite the sailor mouth
Cranky: sailor mouth no. 2
Diesel: has a potty mouth so big that it’s a septic tank
Bill and Ben: turn into a pair of giggling middle schoolers when anyone swears.
Mavis: will tell bill and Ben to “stop saying that Word! It’s a swear word and it’s not a nice !!$#&!! Thing to say!”
BoCo: scolds anyone for swearing
Duncan: if Diesel has a septic tank mouth, then Duncan has an entire sewage treatment plant mouth. He uses words like !!$&#!!, !!$#&!!, and !!$#&!! So liberally that they are now conservative.
(Get it, like the political spectrum where theoretically you can go so far in one direction that you wind up on the other side…

I’ll take my leave)
