Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire

2.0

I don’t know... it felt like reading a fanfic in that there was little to no real character development, but in fanfic that doesn’t matter because the characters are already established. It tried to be twisty-turny and just didn’t manage it well. I think it was the author’s debut novel and I loved her most recent stand alone (which had boatloads of character development and succeeded magnificently with the twisty-turniness), which was why I tried this out. I may give some other later ones a try to see if her writing becomes more polished and the characters have more to them as the series continues.
