Really enjoyed it! Learned so many new words and loved that it took some turns I didn't see. Also like that the gal saves herself time and time again!
I read an eARC of this so thank you to Net Galley, the author and the publisher for allowing this.
The Sinister Booksellers of Bath is actually a sequel and I hadn’t realised that. I hadn’t read the first book but at no point did I find that I couldn’t follow this book for not having read the previous. At times, characters referenced things from the first book and that made me feel like I would have enjoyed to read the first book beforehand because it sounds interesting, but this book strongly stands on its own.
I really enjoyed the magic and mythology in this book and that particularly made me want to go back and read the first book. There’s lot of richness and imagination in this, and I enjoyed the ancient powers.
This book is quite whimsical and quirky. One of the central characters is in real danger and yet there’s lots of descriptions of fashion choices and characters stopping for snacks and meals. This added a lightness to the novel that balanced out the darker themes. There is darkness in this book including murder and kidnapping.
I liked the way some of the side characters were presented and they felt like they had strong personalities that made them impactful even though they only appeared briefly, for example the housekeeper and the police.
Enjoyed this and I think I will go back and read the first book!

3.5 stars. Not sure if I didn't enjoy this as much or my taste has changed a lot since reading the first instalment.
