nerdywerewolf 's review for:
Rosemary and Rue
by Seanan McGuire
"Naked people are, by definition, unarmed."
I honestly didn't think I would enjoy this as much as I did. Based on reviews or word of mouth, I thought it would be a stuggle. You know what? I had fun. Entertainment is the only reason I read so much and this book accomplished that in spades.
Sure, it's got some well-used tropes and there were some things I could spot in looming in the distance, but there were plenty of other characters or plot points that I just couldn't peg down. The result was: Ta-da: I kept reading! That's a win, y'all.
I loved the main character, October "Toby" Daye. She makes mistakes and she picks herself back up even if she's been kicked down. She doesn't think she's the baddest bitch in the room-she's fully aware she's not. She also makes really bad decisions sometimes and then accepts full responsibility for their consequences. Yep, she's awesome. I've already started the second book and if it only gets better from here, bring it on.
