kell_x 's review for:
The Undermining of Twyla and Frank
by Megan Bannen
I've been counting the days so I could read Frank and Twyla's story from the moment I ended The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy. I loved this world and it's characters, so when I was given the opportunity by Netgalley and Orbit books to have an ARC I was over the moon (and it took me a while to get my feet back on Earth)!
This story introduce us to two characters who are in their fifties, and are living their daily life as best they can. They are parents, and grandparents, have full time jobs (as Tamria marshals) and have each other as best friends! Their relationship is easy, lovable and priceless.
In this book we have the story told in Twyla's perspective only (and in my opinion I believe Frank's POV would add so much.. I wanted to read his thoughs also. To know what the grumpy guy was thinking would have been priceless)!
In this book we can see how sometimes being a mom, a grandmother and wife translated for Twyla as being on the shelf an secondary. Through the book she was reminded that she was not also those things but she rediscovered herself. She found out what it was not only to live for other people but also for herself.
It was a slow burn but when they ignite it all burns!
In between our romance we have some very cute Dragons!
I missed a little bit of the dark humor we saw in Hart's and Mercy's story, but it doesn't changes the fact that it's a pretty good book.
I hope this world continues to grow!
