olikosan 's review for:
A Restless Truth
by Freya Marske
If Titanic had lesbians, magic and murder.
(I'd definitely watch that)
Steamier than a steamboat and more magical than ocean sunsets, this is an intriguing voyage indeed.
I loved the atmosphere. It felt like Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile but fantasy. People said that it might get boring, considering it all happens on a ship, but I was certainly hooked! This series could be such a great adaptation! Think of costumes, special effects, romantic tension! I know the movie in my head doesn't do it justice.
Maude was a good heroine that I sympathised with and understood well. And when it comes to Violet, we all love a little femme fatale with a secret heart of Gold.
When it comes to the romantic plot I am a little bit torn. There is still not enough good representation of wlw relationships, especially ones that intimate. But around the 3/4 of the novel I was feeling that the lovers were having the same argument over and over again and it got a bit repetitive. And I cannot underline it enough, THESE BOOKS ARE VERY, VERY, VERY SPICY. Just be aware of it before you pick it up.
I think the ending was an interesting choice. I need to sit with it but the conversation of our two girls faced with newness and discovery gives us hope for a grand conclusion that might cast a magic spell on us all.
3,75 but my lovesick heart wants to give it a 4
