paigers7 's review for:
A Restless Truth
by Freya Marske
I really can't believe how much I loved this. I remember finding the first book in the series, A Marvellous Light, enjoyable but don't remember thinking much more about it. But this one, THIS ONE. Wow.
This is an sapphic fantasy romance aboard a ship, and I think that's why I put this off for a whole year because the premise seemed to be trying to do too much in too confining of a setting. But this just worked. Maud and Violet were both so very vibrant and so very human, and had great chemistry on page. I'm a little more lukewarm on the overarching fantasy plot of the series, but that may just be because the characters themselves are so much more compelling.
And the side characters! The side characters! Hawthorn and Ross, Hawthorn and Ross! I'm actually relieved I ended up waiting that year to read this, as their book is now out too, and they're fresh in my mind. My only dilemma now is whether to immediately dive into A Power Unbound or to save it for my upcoming time off over the holidays. I'm so conflicted, but what a delightful conflict to have.
