Rook by William Ritter
fast-paced
- Loveable characters? Yes
4.0
Frankly, I loved being back in New Fiddleham. I did reread the previous four books before starting Rook and that did provide a nice refresher for me, but it is not necessary to enjoy Rook.
I loved to see how Abigail took over and had to find her footing in her new circumstances of being the Seer, and we did get some lovely Douglas time. Rook also had some lovely humor moments mixed in with the emotional scenes, which is in line with the other books in the Jackaby universe. The levity in certain moments provides a needed balance. The characters still felt like themselves, and it felt like checking in on old friends.
The pacing was sometimes a bit off for me, like taking a misstep on the stairs, but that did not hinder my enjoyment of the book overall.
If you enjoyed the previous Jackaby books I'm sure you will enjoy this one.
Thank you to NetGalley and Algonquin YA for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!
