Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire
3.0
This was the first book I read where it was set in the Faerie world primarily. Usually we get glimpses of the Faerie world in other supernatural books and this was a change to finally find a book devoted to them,
I was skeptical about reading this book since it was about Faeries but it was an interesting read as I got to see another side of the supernatural world.
What I liked about the book is that they didn't make the heroine infallible. In fact, more off than not she was getting beaten up or was "reacting" to situations. But it made sense, because here is a PI who had been out of business for 14 years so yes, she is rusty, she is finding it harder to assimilate into her old role, she is slower and it has consequences.
We were introduced to a couple of love interests and a potential future love interest, which I feel might be a slow burn. I am a sucker for slow burns.
All in all it was a good read if you want to venture into the Faerie world but my one concern is that Seanan McGuire has a habit of repeating certain "rules" about the Faerie world over and over again.. Maybe once or twice is enough Senan?
