The City of Tears by Kate Mosse

rinnfoskey's review against another edition

This was the second book in a series which I didn't realise and while not strictly essential to reading, I couldn't connect with the characters and was a bit lost in the history. I didn't find Minou very likeable as she was too perfect almost

I read the first book in the series and was curious to see where the adventure lead. I found this book to be an interesting read and wanting to now read the third book. Well written book. Excellent character development. Interesting historical fiction. I also read the first book kind of wondering wear the LGBTQ portion was as I'd seen that tag for her as an author. Slowly developed in a way that made sense and was aligned with a story timeline rather than forced.

Recommend the read and I am starting the 3rd book.
