A review by a_h_haga
Rough Justice by Kelley Armstrong
3.0
REREAD 2021
I had honestly forgotten almost everything about this book. I remembered one of the storylines, which seemed to be the minor one, and somehow I felt it wasn't resolved as well this time around? I'm not sure how that would work, though, as the book isn't any different. Maybe I had trouble keeping up because of my eye issues? Anyway, it's not important. I'm keeping the original rating, and don't really have anything new to say about it.
Maybe just that I'm glad Rose was finally brought into the loop.
----------------------------------------------
I know the author say these books count as shorter stories, not full length novels, but I still have trouble agreeing with that. They're not far from 50k words, after all. Not with that length.
Anyway, as usual, Armstrong's writing is light and flowing, easily sucking me in. Her characters are well written and their interaction is good.
I will admit that I was... not surprised, but taken aback, maybe? by the way she write dialogue. It isn't wrong, it just takes a little getting used to.
The story in this book started out really interesting, but kinda slow, and the slow continued throughout the book. As well there just being a general mystery, and not much magic. Again, it wasn't bad, just not what I hoped for.
It's not the strongest book in the series, but it still wasn't bad, and I can picture myself giving it a reread at some later date.
