A review by chirson
Armistice by Lara Elena Donnelly
3.0
I received the e-ARC of this novel courtesy of the publisher and NetGalley.
My full review here.
In short: great characters, very good style, plot that takes a while to get going but then becomes really breathtaking, worldbuilding that doesn't quite do for this new city what Amberlough did for, well, Amberlough, and a good setup for a potentially explosive conclusion. Still, I wish a spy novel had more spying and more exciting plot twists, and more competent players (particularly early on).
I really liked Lillian (a lot more than Cyril). And Cordelia is great.
