The Ragpicker King by Cassandra Clare
4.75
adventurous emotional medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

This is a fantastic romantic  fantasy with actual longing, and no insta-love. I love that, while it does have romance, there is truly a larger story to tell. I also appreciate that the story is about more than romantic relationships. There are friendship and family dynamics that are just as important and gripping as the romances. I ended up enjoying this book even more than the first.
