Це моя друга спроба з Т. Кінґфішер — і значно вдаліша. Історія виявилася насиченою подіями, з живими персонажами, а самій авторці вдалося вправно балансувати між детективною та пригодницько-фентезійною складовими й жартувати тільки там, де це справді доречно.

Найбільше питання у мене до тих, хто визначав жанр: називати цю темну й жорстоку історію cozy лише тому, що головна героїня носить із собою арсенал імбирного печива, — це вже перебір. Або ж це я надто чутливо сприймаю сюжет з облогою міста, бо нашу психіку війна зламала назавжди.

Compared to other cozy fantasy books would say it falls a bit lower on my scale but it was a fun read. I couldn’t get over Mona being 14. Hope her new title gets her unlimited mental health resources.

It was a pretty good story. It just wasn't for me.

3.0

Same complaint I had with Legends and Lattes: premise is fun and promising; execution is lacking. Very very mild and vague spoilers follow (I would hesitate to even call them spoilers but a spoiler purist might call them spoilers so)

Spoiler

There were zero stakes or suspense in this book, and the whimsical tone of the narration, although entertaining, further contributed to the feeling that I don't need to take any story beats seriously because it'll all be totally fine in the end.

Okay this is actually kind of a spoiler maybe:

Spoiler

The xenophobia was,,, textbook Fictional Xenophobia. Truly the laziest, most cursory way to depict prejudice and you see it all the time in fantasy and science fiction. Just wanted to complain about it, I guess.
