jesssicawho 's review for:

Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire
1.0

A good idea but the author got caught up in too much mythology. There were countless races and species of supernatural beings to keep track of, without knowing much of their background or powers. What's the difference between a Cait Sidhe and a Daoine Sidhe? A Nixie and a Pixie? More than 100 pages in and I don't know or care.

The murder-mystery plot has started to take shape at this point (the 100 page mark) but I'm still not convinced I should keep going. the characters aren't engaging and the heroine is a bit too ...depressed.

There's a chance I'll pick this up again when I have a moment because it's not terrible and I like finishing what I've started, but there are too many other books calling my name.
