The Lion Lies Waiting by Glenn Quigley
4.0
A grand follow up to The Moth and The Moon, though perhaps not quite so engaging for me.
We still have the delightfully quirky island universe where there is no religion, same sex partnerships are accepted, marriage is for all, bits of fancy, bits of steampunk and definite hints of celtic festivals. As well as politics poverty and murder.
Robin and Edwin travel to Blackrabbit to sort out Edwin’s mum and sister in law and get pulled into alsorts which tests their feelings. Robin continues to be the man mountain you’d want on your side - compassion and brawn, though he prefers his simple life.
Edwin is torn between Robin and family and even the Wolff-Chase Lady’s. Duncan gets into all sorts of trouble and whilst the poor uprising get squashed, it does lead to a better solution.
Definitely grew on me this one but not quite as dramatic as the hurricane.
I like that the characters are older and not ripped specimens and have good values.it may be all a bit perfect for some but I did enjoy.
